Daniel Tynell won his three Vasaloppet victories in 2002, 2006, and 2009. Here he takes you through the whole race course, from Sälen to Mora.
Vasaloppet is not just the biggest long distance ski race in the world; it is also one of the biggest sport events. The brand has evolved into an institution with its annual summer and winter weeks with several events and activities.
Wooden skis are tarred, shoemakers hired to make bindings, military surplus stocks searched for clothes while woollen hats are knitted and wool trousers sewn. The 139 Jubileumsvasan participants have now sent in documentation of their equipment for the re-creation of the first Vasaloppet, which starts the celebration of the Vasaloppet's 100th anniversary. It can now be announced that this unique race will be broadcast live on Vasaloppet's own streaming platform, Vasaloppet.TV.
A proper challenge. The stylish, coveted, Vasaloppstrippeln T-shirt. An experience with a dear friend. There are already many reasons to go for Vasaloppstrippeln and next year there is another: Vasaloppet celebrates 100 years!
The Vasaloppet year 2021 was certainly out of the ordinary – but it happened. "Our diligent work to set Sweden in motion continued this year. We're both happy and proud that we could run elite races while offering recreational athletes alternative ways of crossing their finish line at home or in the Vasaloppet Arena," says Johan Eriksson, Vasaloppet's CEO.
Close to 10,000 other participants have together covered 442 300 kilometers by bicycle or on foot in Hemmavasan 2021. Check out our digital Hemmavasan map and you'll find a lot of exciting graphics and statistics.
Finally, this past weekend, ultrarunning competitions returned to the Vasaloppet Arena after a year break. The winners of Ultravasan 90 Elit were Sébastien Spehler from France in the men's class and Alexandra Morozova from Russia for the women. The Russian runner thereby became the first person in Ultravasan history to win the race three times. In Ultravasan 45 Elit there were two Swedish winners; Kristofer Låås and Liselotte Hellsten. Registration for Vasaloppet's Summer Week 2022 opens on Sunday, September 26, 2021.
Nine former victors and a number of other noteworthy runners are registered for Ultravasan 90 Elit and Ultravasan 45 Elit which run on Sunday, August 22 in the Vasaloppet Arena. Will David Laney be the second American to win Ultravasan and will Russian Alexandra Morozova snatch her third victory in a row? Vasaloppet.TV will broadcast both races from start to finish and the stream is concluded with Hemmavasan's big raffle of a Volvo XC40 Recharge Twin, an electric SUV.
Cykelvasan 90 Elit runs on Thursday, August 19. Ladies start at 16:15 and gents at 17:00 and this 13th edition of Cykelvasan between Sälen and Mora will be broadcast live on Vasaloppet's streaming service Vasaloppet.TV.
