Tjejvasan becomes a Ski Classics Challenger event

The Ski Classics Challengers series was launched in 2019, as an edition to the Ski Classics Pro Tour. The Challengers series ambition is to connect and help to promote the events as well as enhance the long-distance skiing sport in general. Tjejvasan represents a milestone for the project entering Ski Classics Challengers series as event number 50.

50 is also the maximum Challenger bonus points a Pro Team athlete may count in each season’s yellow bib competition.

”We’re proud to welcome Tjejvasan as the 50th Ski Classics Challengers event! Tjejvasan is one of the biggest cross country ski races in the world, and the event is a popular event for many Pro Tour female athletes. From now, being a Challenger, we believe it will make even more Pro Team women participate to fight for their Yellow bib bonus points. And all participants being part will now collect Ski Classics ranking points as well as digital diplomas and pins, these are to be found on Ski Classics MyPages!” says Ski Classics CEO David Nilsson.

Celebrating the 35th edition this winter, Tjejvasan is considered the world’s biggest ski race only for women. The race starts in Oxberg and finishes in Mora.

”We believe the Challengers status for Tjejvasan will lift the event from an international perspective. Hopefully, it will attract even more elite and recreational female athletes to ski this traditional race already upcoming winter,” says Tommy Höglund, Sports Manager at Vasaloppet.

Tjejvasan is part of Vasaloppet’s Winter Week 2023, which takes place from February 24 to March 5. It offers several races, including Vasaloppet, part of the Ski Classics Pro Tour, and now Tjejvasan, part of the Ski Classics Challengers calendar.
