Vasaloppet's pausing registration for the Summer Week 2020

This past Wednesday, the Public Health Agency of Sweden gave new advice that is set to apply until December 31, 2020. The recommendations include, among other things, avoiding gathering many people in one place, avoiding travel, and staying apart from one another.
”We all have a responsibility to take the measures we can to reduce the risk of transmission. Although the recommendation may be reverted earlier than the end of December, this is what we have to go on at present and we’ve therefore taken the decision to pause registration for Vasaloppet’s Summer Week. Until further notice, it’s no longer possible to register for Cykelvasan, Ultravasan, Trailvasan 30, Vasastafetten or Vasakvartetten,” says Eva-Lena Frick, Vasaloppet’s CEO.

At present, about 18,000 people are already registered for one of the Summer Week races. Right now Vasaloppet is exploring alternatives, gathering information and waiting to see how the spread of COVID-19 evolves before any additional decisions are made about the Summer Week events.
”No later than April 28 we will provide more information but we need these weeks to work on different alternatives. We want to be able to make well-founded decisions, gather knowledge and communicate with our partners, other event organizers and authorities before releasing  further information. At present we all have to practice patience and for now we are also asking our registered participants to do the same,” says Eva-Lena Frick.

Registration for Vasaloppet’s Winter Week 2021 is open as usual.
