Welcome to Ultravasan 90
Your running event begins in Berga by in Sälen. You can pick up your start number in Mora or in Sälen, either the day before or at the start area before you head off. Once there, you leave your bag with change of clothes at the correct truck – which safely transports your bag to Mora. You can also have change of clothes transported to Evertsberg, the checkpoint located halfway to Mora. Pack your change of clothes in the bag you received with your start number, attach the label and place it on the truck marked Evertsberg, and it will be transported there.
The start goes jointly at 05.00. The start corrals open at 04.30.
During the 92 kilometers to Mora, you pass seven checkpoints where drinks and energy are served in various forms. In addition, there are fluids, sports drinks and water approximately every five kilometers. Toilets and medical personnel are available at all checkpoints.
You have approximately 15.5 hours to reach the finish and there are cut-off times, a specific time for final passage, at the three final checkpoints: Oxberg, Hökberg and Eldris. Several events take place simultaneously and with a mix of elite and recreational runners, good cooperation between runners is important. The basic rule is: Keep right, pass on the left!
When you approach Mora and glimpse the church tower, you know the final stretch is approaching. Then it’s time to gear up for the finish. Remember to savor the moment as you come in under the classic finish portal. After crossing the finish line, you receive your well-earned medal and a finisher t-shirt in this year’s selected color. After that, you’re offered drinks and snacks. When you’re ready, simply take the free bus to the showers at Prästholmens IP where your bag is waiting. After that, you can return to the finish and pick up your diploma and continue celebrating with all the other runners.
Every finish is a victory. We’ll see you on the course!
