Öppet Spår Sunday 2017 now fully booked
This morning, the final start place was booked in Öppet Spår Sunday, making for a total of 10,000 registered participants. This is the fifth year in a row that the race is fully booked, and the third race of the Winter Week 2017 to fill up. Both Vasaloppet and Nattvasan have already been fully booked.
Those who want to ski 90 km can still register, but Öppet Spår Monday is the only remaining option.
If there are five of you, then Stafettvasan is your race; this year it expanded its number of start places from 1,800 to 2,400. Presently there are places left for just about another 100 teams.
There are also places left in Kortvasan, Tjejvasan, Ungdomsvasan, Halvvasan and Blåbärsloppet.
In total there are over 62,000 participants registered to the ten races of the Winter Week 2017.
In 2012, the Vasaloppet Winter Week had over 60,000 registered participants for the first time. 2014 was the first year that all the Winter Week races (except Ungdomsvasan) were fully booked and, with more start places added, 2016 saw the record with 68,024 registered participants. 2017 is the sixth year in a row with over 60,000 registered participants.
