Jessie Diggins Autographed Race Bibs Auction, A Big Success!
Jessie Diggins had autographed and donated a few of her World Cup bibs and a Birkie Bib to the Birchleggings Club to help raise funds for the electric snowmobile. These one-of-a-kind, and frankly, historic, bibs were auctioned for sale during Birkie Week 2023! Proceeds were used toward purchase of the Taiga Nomad Electric Snowmobile by the club, to be given to American Birkebeiner Ski Foundation.

Donate directly to the electric snowmobile fund!
If you prefer just making a monetary donation in support of the Taiga Nomad Electric Snowmobile project, please go to the Birchleggings Club, Inc. Donation Page.
Donate via the Birkie Bib Bag Project!
Another simple way that nearly anyone can support Birkie Green and the electric snowmobile purchase is through the Birkie Bib Bag (BBB) project. Used Birkie race bibs from 2013 or later are being collected and converted into re-usable shopping bags.
These bags are strong, lightweight, and much more compact than traditional re-useable bags. Proceeds from the sales of these BBB’s will support Birkie Green initiatives, promote the Birkebeiner all year long while you are shopping, and… used bibs will be kept out of the landfill!
Purchase a Birkie Bib Bag
Pre-sewn Bib Bags will be available for purchase at the Birchleggings Club booth and the Birkie Green booth during the Birkie Expo on Thursday and Friday of race week.
Bags will also be available at the Birchleggings Club Annual Awards Breakfast on Sunday morning after the Birkie.
Convert your used bib(s)
Drop off your used 2013 or later Birkie or Kortelopet bib(s)
with the Birchleggings Club to be converted into shopping bags. See Full Details Here: Birchleggings Club - Birkie Bib Bag Project
The Birkie Bib Bag promotion will continue all year long!
