Welcome to Öppet Spår Monday 45
Your race day begins in Oxberg. You collect your number bib the day before in Mora, or on location in Oxberg before the start. At the start area, you hand in your bag with a change of clothes at a lorry – which will safely transport your bag to the finish. The start pen opens at 07:00. Between 08:00 and 08:20, there is an open start, meaning you set off when you like within that time window. Your time begins when you cross the start line.
In Öppet Spår Monday 45, the course first leads around the Oxberg lake before you reach the first checkpoint, also in Oxberg. In total, you pass three checkpoints where you can refill with drinks and energy and get basic ski wax assistance. Toilets and medical staff are available at all checkpoints.
There are three cut-off times – set times for the last passage at the checkpoints – but you’ll have plenty of time to reach the finish. The basic rule on the track is: Keep to the right, overtake on the left!
When you approach Mora and glimpse the church tower, you’ll know the home stretch is near. Then it’s time to prepare for the finish; remember to celebrate as you glide under the historic finish portal!
After finishing, you’ll receive your well-earned medal and be offered drinks and refreshments. You can leave your skis in the ski deposit and take the free bus to the showers at Prästholmens IP, where your bag will be waiting. Afterwards, you can return to the finish area to collect your diploma and skis and enjoy the atmosphere.
Every finish is a victory. See you on the track!
