Ahead of Ultravasan, Trailvasan, Funkisvasan and Vasastafetten 2025

On Friday, August 15, and Saturday, August 16, the Vasaloppet Arena will be in full swing as the Vasaloppet Summer Week 2025 concludes with six different running races. More than 6,800 runners have signed up to take on the challenge – a mix of elite athletes and enthusiastic recreational runners. Participants come from all 21 Swedish counties and 37 other nations. Five individual races and the popular Vasastafetten relay are on the agenda, and for many this is the final step in the quest to complete Vasaloppstrippeln – having previously skied and cycled the classic course. New for this year, Vasaloppet.TV will broadcast live starting as early as 04:55 on Saturday morning. Here, we present an overview of interesting facts, statistics, possible favourites to win and a bit of trivia for those interested.
