Welcome to Öppet Spår Sunday
Your race day begins in Berga by, Sälen. You collect your number bib in Mora or Sälen, either in the days before the race or at the start area before you set off. Once there, you hand in your bag with a change of clothes at the designated lorry – which will safely transport your bag to the finish. The start pens open at 06:00, and you start together with your group from 06:50 onwards.
Over the 90 kilometres on the classic Vasaloppet course, you will pass seven checkpoints where you can refill with drinks and energy, and get ski wax assistance. Toilets and medical staff are available at all checkpoints.
You have around 12 hours to reach the finish, and each checkpoint has a cut-off time; the last permitted time to pass. The basic rule on the track is: Keep to the right, overtake on the left.
When you approach Mora and glimpse the church tower, you’ll know the home stretch is near. Then it’s time to prepare for the finish; remember to enjoy the moment as you glide under the historic finish portal.
After finishing, you’ll receive your well-earned medal and be offered drinks and refreshments. You can leave your skis in the ski deposit and take the free bus to the showers at Prästholmens IP, where your bag will be waiting. Afterwards, you can return to the finish area to collect your diploma and skis and continue celebrating with your fellow skiers.
Every finish is a victory. See you on the track!
