Vasaloppet 10
On skis through the ages.
Vasaloppet 10 is a race that’s more about trying out skiing than about competing. The start is in Eldris and the journey goes along the last leg of Vasaloppet down to the classic finish line portal in Mora. Many participants dress up in vintage clothes and ski using old equipment as a tribute to Vasaloppet’s century-long history – but that’s entirely optional. Skate and classic ski styles are both allowed. Everyone from the age of 8 is welcome to participate.

Welcome to Vasaloppet 10
Your race day begins in Mora with a mandatory and free bus ride to Eldris, Vasaloppet’s final checkpoint and the start for Vasaloppet 10. You collect your number bib in Mora, either in the days before or right before your start. The first bus departs from Mora at 09:30, and your start certificate shows the recommended departure time for you.
Toilets are available at the start area and you have the option of getting a bag for your outer clothes – which we’ll safely transport to the finish in Mora. The first start is at 10:00, and you begin your race individually by passing the start line.
As the race is freestyle, the track is prepared with both a groomed skating lane and two classic tracks. Blueberry soup and water is served at the start area in Eldris and in Hemus, after about 5 km. There are no cut-off times in Vasaloppet 10, and the basic rule on the track is: Keep to the right, overtake on the left.
When you begin to glimpse the church tower in Mora, you’ll know the home stretch is approaching and you’re about to experience the magical feeling of crossing the finish line under the historic portal. After finishing, you’ll receive your well-earned medal and be offered drinks and refreshments. You can also collect a diploma as proof of your achievement and stay in the finish area to enjoy the atmosphere. There are no shower facilities available after the finish in Vasaloppet 10. Every finish is a victory. See you on the track!
