Updates about the Vasaloppet Arena

Snow has fallen and will continue to fall throughout the day. Vasaloppet will deploy both snow groomers and snowmobiles to reset the tracks during the race, but conditions will remain soft in the tracks – expect a day to remember!

Eat and drink at every checkpoint, and make sure to encourage one another out there. Good luck!

Tips

  • Take care of nature and avoid a 15-minute time penalty – throw your trash in the designated waste zones, not along the track!
  • Change bags are stored outdoors in Mora. Therefore, pack your spare clothes in sealed plastic bags before putting them in your bag, so you’ll have dry clothes to look forward to after the race.
