Along the Vasaloppet course there are three official checkpoints: Oxberg, Hökberg and Eldris.
Drink and energy in various forms is served at all checkpoints. Specifics on what is served can be found on the detailed race map.
We will help with repairs at all the checkpoints along the track. An invoice for any materials used will be mailed to you after the race. There are toilets and medical services at all checkpoints, as well as at the start and finish.
At all checkpoints (not Hökberg), you can choose a “drive-through-corridor” without stopping for any refreshments.
Sometimes things don’t go as planned. It’s completely okay not to finish.
Contact medical staff or an official at the nearest checkpoint. They will help you with taking care of your timing chip, reporting your withdrawal and arranging transport to the finish in Mora.
Safety first:
Rescue and medical personnel have the right to remove participants from the course if they deem it necessary. Your safety always comes before finishing the race.
