Three suggestions for those aiming for an extra active 2024
When you've trained and prepared extensively for a race, it's not uncommon to feel a certain emptiness in the days following the finish line, a so-called "post-race blues." But there's a simple way to avoid it: make sure to have more than one race booked in your calendar!
Several of our races can be combined with other races, both within Vasaloppet and with other organizers. Here are three inspiring challenges to set your sights on in 2024:
Vasaloppstrippeln
To complete Vasaloppstrippeln you need to ski, cycle and run 30, 45 or 90 kilometres in forefathers’ tracks during one and the same calendar year. This means tackling the same distance once in the winter and twice in the summer. Regardless of the distance you choose, you have the chance to cross the Vasaloppstrippeln finish line on Saturday, August 17, 2024.
En Svensk Klassiker
En Svensk Klassiker includes skiing, cycling, swimming, and running. Choose between four versions: En Svensk Klassiker, En Svensk Klassiker – Tjej (for women), En Svensk Klassiker – Halva (half distances) and En Svensk Klassiker – Korta (shorter distances). If you want to complete all four races in 2024, start with skiing.
Worldloppet
If you participate in Öppet Spår, Vasaloppet, or Nattvasan 90, you can get a stamp in a special passport from Worldloppet, the international collaboration organization that gathers long-distance races worldwide. Get another nine stamps in the passport, with at least one from a race on another continent, and you’ll be a Worldloppet Master.
