Here is an overview with facts, statistics and trivia ahead of the running festival this weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3928,"template":"","news_category":[],"sport_category":[4],"class_list":["post-3926","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","sport_category-run"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
<\/strong>The weekend kicks off early on Friday afternoon at 14:00 with\u00a0Funkisvasan<\/strong>, starting and finishing at the Vasaloppet finish area in Mora. The race is for people with some form of disability, and more than 120 participants are registered, which is a new record! New for this year, participants can choose between two distances: 2 and 4 km.<\/p>\n\n
<\/strong>On Saturday, Ultravasan 90, Ultravasan 45, Trailvasan 30 and Vasastafetten will follow. There are seven classes in total (six of which are competition classes), as well as, for the first time, Swedish Championship classes for seniors and veterans, women and men, in Ultravasan 90.<\/p>\n\n
<\/strong>Ultravasan 90 starts in S\u00e4len, like the traditional Vasaloppet, and follows the course eastwards towards Mora. Two classes: Women and Men. This year, the race also serves as the trail running Swedish Championships and Swedish Veteran Championships. A record number of participants, more than 2,300, are registered to run the entire classic Vasaloppet course.<\/p>\n\n
<\/strong>Ultravasan 45 starts in Oxberg and largely follows the winter course for Vasaloppet 45 along the Oxbergssj\u00f6n lake to Vasslan, before joining the Ultravasan 90 course. Two classes: Women and Men.<\/p>\n\n
<\/strong>Trailvasan 30 starts in Oxberg and follows forest roads and trails, through traditional summer farms and spruce forests, via the checkpoints in Oxberg, H\u00f6kberg and Eldris to Mora. Two classes: Women and Men.<\/p>\n\n
<\/strong>92 km from S\u00e4len to Mora divided into ten sections ranging from 4.5\u201315 km. Since 2025, the race has been a recreational relay \u2013 just like Stafettvasan is in winter. (Participants are allowed to run more than one section each, but the team must consist of at least two people.)
This year\u2019s course
<\/strong>After several years of a temporary route through the ski trail above Bj\u00f6rnarvet between Evertsberg and Oxberg (due to roadworks), Ultravasan 90, Vasastafetten and Ultravasan 45 will now return to the regular running route along the Vasaloppet trail. Participants will once again run through the scenic surroundings at Axikvarn and continue along the trail towards Bj\u00f6rnarvet.<\/p>\n\n
