Vasaloppet 2023, the eleventh race of Ski Classics 2022/2023

The 90-kilometer main race on the first Sunday of March is the oldest and most prestigious event in Ski Classics. With 15,800 participants standing together at the same start area, this long-distance mass start race is the one that every Pro Tour athlete dream about winning.

On Vasaloppet women’s side, the Norwegian Astrid Øyre Slind won the race in 2022 after a winning streak of Swedish Pro Tour athletes since 2017. On the other hand, the Norwegian men have been dominating the race for ten consecutive editions. Can next season someone else stop the trend?

Vasaloppet is not just the biggest long distance ski race in the world, it’s also one of the most significant sports events globally. The brand has evolved into an institution with several events and activities in its annual winter and summer weeks.

Since 1922, over 1.7 million participants have crossed the Vasaloppet’s finish line portal. The saga of the race goes back to 1520, depicting the tale of Gustav Eriksson Vasa, who rebelled against Denmark and eventually became the first King of free Sweden, with the 2023 Vasaloppet edition marking the 500th anniversary since the crowning of the King.

Starting in Sälen, known for its popular alpine ski resorts, and heading to Mora, world-famous as the finish location, Vasaloppet traditions and importance are not only within Sweden. People from around the World take part in the event each year and spread the long-distance skiing vibes across the globe.

With good cooperation over the years, Vasaloppet and Ski Classics keep developing together, bringing a century of traditions and culture since 1922 and recreating that in a modern way.
