Pippa Middleton 412th place in Vasaloppet 2012

[2012-03-08]  Seven hours, 13 minutes and 36 seconds. That was the time in which Pippa Middleton, the younger sister of the Duchess of Cambridge, completed the 88th Vasalopp. Some 16,000 skiers took part in Sweden’s annual 90km cross country ski race. The race is considered the largest and oldest event of its kind in the world.

Pippa completed the entire race which took place between the Swedish villages of Sälen and Mora. Her time placed her 412th out of 1734 women. According to Pippa’s website she and her brother James were competing to raise money for Magic Breakfast, a small charity that helps deliver free breakfasts to British schoolchildren.

 

Event organisers were thrilled that Pippa joined the competition and Vasaloppet Spokesperson Per Strid stated that; “It’s really fantastic that such well known people take part; it shows that our arrangements attract not only the most renowned skiers in the world but also some of the most famous personalities in the world”.
