Vasaloppet's Summer Week 2024 receives outstanding ratings

On behalf of Vasaloppet, the company Upplevelseinstitutet conducts an annual survey measuring participants' experiences of Vasaloppet's Summer Week. This survey assesses over twenty different parameters, which Vasaloppet then uses to enhance event development.

Upplevelseinstitutet has built Sweden’s largest database with extensive statistics related to event experiences. Spanning from the year 2000, the database covers several hundred events, enabling numerous interesting comparisons.

Here, we quote directly from the summary of Upplevelseinstitutet’s latest report following this year’s Summer Week. A five-point scale is used in the survey:

Vasaloppet’s Summer Week 2024 receives outstanding ratings from participants, with consistently high results across the series. The overall impression scores an impressive 4.7, while Vasaloppet’s signature area, “organization & management,” scores an even higher 4.8. Compared to last year, scores increased in ten areas and decreased in two, indicating significant improvement.

”Track quality” is the most improved aspect, but the positive trend in “finish area” ratings is also worth noting. Participants give high ratings across all races, though the events that received the highest scores are Cykelvasan 90, Ultravasan 45, and Trailvasan 30.

The events with slightly lower ratings (compared to the overall results) are Cykelvasan 45 and Cykelvasan 30, likely reflecting the impact of the weather on participants’ experiences.

Furthermore, participants are satisfied and feel they get good value for their registration fee. Runners (4.2) are generally more satisfied than cyclists (3.7), though both ratings remain strong and consistent with previous years.

Interest in participating in next year’s events is high. Of those who took part in this year’s Vasaloppet running events, 87% responded that it is either very likely (59%) or somewhat likely (28%) that they will participate again next year. Those who participated in Cykelvasan show even higher interest in returning, with 89% saying it is either very likely (59%) or somewhat likely (30%) that they will join next year.

All we can say is: Thank you for the great ratings, and we warmly welcome you to Vasaloppet’s Summer Week 2025, whether you’re a returning participant or joining us for the first time! We’ll be here for you.
