Hemmavasan cykel, Hemmavasan ultra, and Hemmavasan trail are now launching as complements to the Vasaloppet Summer Week 2023. While the regular races are held on location in Sälen and Mora, from Friday, August 11 to Saturday, August 19, participants can bike or run a race at any location around Sweden – or the world – in the digital Vasaloppet Arena.
Saturday, August 19 is the big running day during Vasaloppet's Summer Week 2023. It's a day that attracts both eager elite runners and happy recreational runners to the Vasaloppet Arena between Sälen and Mora. This year, the prize pool for the top runners in Ultravasan 90, Ultravasan 45, Trailvasan 30, and Vasastafetten comes to a total of 401,000 SEK. Of course, all participants who complete a race will receive a medal, and those who complete a race that's 30 km or longer will also receive a specially designed finisher T-shirt. Anyone who wants to run a shorter distance is welcome to participate in the recreational race Trailvasan 10, which takes place that Friday evening.
Starting from Vasaloppet's Summer Week 2023, women participating in the recreational exercise classes of Cykelvasan 90 and Cykelvasan Öppet Spår can, if they wish, start in a group consisting only of women. This initiative is part of the project "More women on the track," which aims to improve the gender balance in Vasaloppet's races.
