New start times for Cykelvasan

The decision to adjust start times for Cykelvasan 30, Cykelvasan 45, Cykelvasan Öppet Spår, and Cykelvasan 90 starting in 2025 was already made last autumn – a change that many participants have requested.

 

In Friday’s races – Ungdomscykelvasan, Cykelvasan 30, Cykelvasan 45, and Cykelvasan Öppet Spår – no cyclist will start later than 1:00 PM.

Concentrating the starts to Friday morning will be a positive change for participants, believes Tommy Höglund, Sport Lead at Vasaloppet.
– We hope this will create a more festive atmosphere for everyone, at both the start in Oxberg and the finish in Mora.

Starting this year, Cykelvasan 90 will begin at 8:00 AM, a classic start time as the Vasaloppet ski race also starts at 08:00. Martin Kroon, Deputy Sports Manager at SVT Sport, previously commented:

–It feels entirely fitting that Cykelvasan will also start at 08:00. It’s a truly classic start time that many Swedes relate to, and even though there are some differences between Vasaloppet and Cykelvasan, there is value in having the same start time.
