The ski track between S\u00e4len and Mora began to be regarded as a year-round arena, &#8220;the world&#8217;s largest sports arena \u2013 90 km long and 10 metres wide&#8221; and the words &#8220;all year round&#8221; were added. After several winters with little snow, Vasaloppet wanted to broaden its range and organize races in the summer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"\">In the same year, 2008, Vasaloppet took over arranging Vasastafetten, the running relay for ten-person teams that Korpen Mora has organized since 1991. (Sports associations in Malung, \u00c4lvdalen and Mora arranged the first Vasastafetten on June 29, 1991. The start saw pouring rain and 29 teams took part. The year before, a test run had been completed with five teams. Vasastafetten quickly grew to have several hundred registered teams.)<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading vl-text-md\">Cykelvasan<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"\">The idea of cycling from S\u00e4len to Mora had existed for many years. In the summer of 2008, all conceivable (and inconceivable) cycling routes between S\u00e4len and Mora were considered. In the late autumn of 2008, about 20 cyclists tested the intended course for Cykelvasan.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"\">Norwegian Birkebeinerrittet in Lillehammer was an important role model (as it was the summer equivalent of the ski race Birkebeinerrennet). Cykelvasan was also a good fit in the development plan for establishing the Vasaloppet Arena.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"\">There were some reroutes of the course compared to the test run. It was to be an easy route that appealed to the majority of cyclists. Both the track layout and the marketing focused on \u201dbike\u201d rather than \u201dmountain bike\u201d. Cykelvasan would be something unique! And it was important that the event maintain \u201dVasaloppet quality\u201d.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"\">It was decided that the first Cykelvasan should run directly in 2009 and together with Vasastafetten (where ten runners divide S\u00e4len\u2013Mora into ten sections) and the now discontinued Stavg\u00e5ngsvasan it became the \u201dVasaloppet Summer Week\u201d.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"\">It was by no means obvious that the first Cykelvasan in 2009 would be a success \u2013 but it was, and it immediately became Sweden\u2019s largest mountain bike race! Of course Sweden\u2019s elite were there, together with almost 2,000 recreational athletes. The classic stretch offered the same experience as in winter: Start in S\u00e4len, via all the famous checkpoints, with blueberry soup, and a finish with Kranskulla and Kransmas in Mora. A 90 km long challenge that turned out to suit most people.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"\">The 2009 Vasaloppet winner Daniel Tynell participated in the very first Cykelvasan and Sveriges Television followed him during the new race. \u201dMora-Nisse\u201d sat behind the finish line, receiving the cyclists \u2013 this was an important signal to show that the \u201dhistoric Vasaloppet\u201d stood behind and supported these \u201dnewfangled\u201d developments.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"\">The success of Cykelvasan continued in its second year, 2010, when over 4,000 cyclists registered. The 2011 Cykelvasan attracted almost 8,000 registrants and the S\u00e4len start was then moved from Tj\u00e4rnheden to the Vasaloppet start in Berga by.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"\">Over the years, there has been much investment in reducing asphalt sections in the Vasaloppet Arena. Gravel roads and paths have been built to make the surface as good as possible. In 2009, half of Cykelvasan was on roads with traffic, but today the race (now 95 km long) runs mostly through the terrain: about 90 km on forest roads or gravel, and only 5 km on asphalt. Cykelvasan has a competition as well as an exercise class from S\u00e4len to Mora as well as two shorter exercise races over 30 and 45 km, both starting in Oxberg.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"\">Ungdomscykelvasan ran for the first time in 2012. In it, young people aged 11\u201316 cycle from Oxberg to Mora, 32 km. In connection with Cykelvasan, Barnens Vasalopp, the bike race for children aged up to about 10, has been held in S\u00e4len and Mora since 2010 (originally called \u201dBarnens Cykelvasa \u201d). Everyone cycles just under a kilometre, has a number bib and gets a medal. The role model was the winter equivalent, Barnens Vasalopp on skis, which attracts tens of thousands of future ski fans.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"\">Since 2010, Cykelvasasprinten has also run, a special invitational race where elite cyclists can show off their skills to spectators in S\u00e4len. In 2015, the new race Cykelvasan \u00d6ppet Sp\u00e5r was introduced, allowing people to cycle the whole distance without any stressful competitive elements.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"\">Since the 2016 race, Cykelvasan 90 has a maximum number of registrants of 13,000 participants. The race was then 94 km.<br><br>2022 was the first year that SVT broadcast Cykelvasan 90 live, after previously only showing highlights.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"\">2023 saw a course change directly after the start of Cykelvasan 90 and Cykelvasan \u00d6ppet Sp\u00e5r, and for the first time cyclists had to climb the famous first hill, just like the skiers in winter, up to the highest point of the Vasaloppet Arena. The distance then became 96 km. The three races Cykelvasan 30, Cykelvasan 45 and Ungdomscykelvasan were also moved from Sunday to Friday. In 2023 the 200,000th cyclist crossed the finish line.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"\">In 2025 new start times were introduced, putting the first start at 08:00, the same classic time as the start of the winter Vasaloppet. A new section in Risberg made Cykelvasan 90 and Cykelvasan \u00d6ppet Sp\u00e5r one kilometre shorter (making the current distance 95 km).<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading vl-text-md\">Ultravasan and more races for runners<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"\">Between 2002 and 2006, Vasastafetten had a class for lone runners, which had nine registered participants at most. This was the precursor to Ultravasan, though that class was discontinued when Vasaloppet took over Vasastafetten in 2008.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"\">A happy coincidence led to Ultravasan seeing the light of day. Namely the fact that Mora was home to one of the world\u2019s foremost sports organizers, Vasaloppet, as well as home to one of the world\u2019s foremost ultrarunners, Jonas Buud! He brought experiences from ultrarunning races all over the world and was eager to give other ultrarunners the opportunity to run a race in the classic terrain between S\u00e4len and Mora. \u201dIf you can ski and bike between S\u00e4len and Mora, surely you can run it too,\u201d enthusiasts said.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"\">It was not hard to find interested test runners, for there were many who wanted to run an ultramarathon on classic ground. In connection with Vasastafetten 2010 there were therefore about twenty experienced ultrarunners, invited from all around the Nordic region, running a test race to see how it would all work. Yes, a few had actually even run the whole stretch before that. The name of the race was \u201dSM90\u201d, with SM standing for S\u00e4len\u2013Mora and 90 indicating the number of kilometres \u2013 though unofficially the name \u201dUltravasan\u201d was already being considered in connection with this test race. (Ultra is the name of races longer than the marathon distance of 42,195 metres, and \u201dtrail\u201d or \u201dterrain\u201d means that the main part of the race is not on asphalt.)<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FjaMAnhUXoU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">After a few years of thinking and planning it was time, in 2014, for Vasaloppet to challenge the runners of the world!<\/a>\u00a0That was the starting shot for the first real Ultravasan between S\u00e4len and Mora. The trend with individual extreme races is very strong in many parts of the world and the goal with Ultravasan was to become the largest ultra trail race in Scandinavia and attract a strong international elite.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"\">Ultravasan has two races, one 90 km and one 45 km. The 90 km race starts in S\u00e4len, like the traditional Vasaloppet, and follows the course eastwards towards Mora. The 45 km race starts in Oxberg and largely follows the same stretch as Halvvasan along the Oxberg lake to Vasslan before joining the Ultravasan 90 course. Both races have a class for women and one for men.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"\">Close to 1,500 runners registered for the first race, which was a huge success, not least for home runner Jonas Buud, who won. The next year, 2015, he repeated his victory and set an impressive track record, running 90 kilometres in 5.45.08. Another addition from 2014 is the Barnens Vasalopp running race (originally called Barnens Springvasa) in S\u00e4len and Mora for the very youngest.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"\">2017 saw the introduction of Vasakvartetten, where four runners divide the S\u00e4len\u2013Mora stretch into what is roughly equivalent to four half marathons. 164 four-person teams registered for the first Vasakvartetten. In 2018, Cykelvasan and the whole Summer Week could celebrate a tenth anniversary with over 33,000 registered participants. But in 2020 and 2021, the Summer Week had to be replaced with Hemmavasan.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"\">When the Summer Week returned in 2022 there was a proper premiere on location for the two new individual running races in the Vasaloppet Arena: Trailvasan 30, 30 km from Oxberg to Mora, and Trailvasan 10, a 10 km race that starts and finishes in Mora.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"\">Vasakvartetten was held for the last time in 2022, but four people can still share the task if they choose to run in the recreational class of Vasastafetten. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"\">Vasastafetten, which previously had several competition classes (men, women, mixed), has from 2025 become a purely recreational relay without a competitive element, with teams ranging from two to ten participants. There can be any number of women and men within a team and it is permitted for one person to run several sections.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"\">For the Vasaloppet summer week 2023, the course layout at the start in S\u00e4len was changed for Ultravasan 90 and Vasastafetten; it was the premiere for runners to first run along the V\u00e4sterdal\u00e4lven river and then climb the famous first hill, just like the cyclists and skiers, up to the highest point of the Vasaloppet. The distance for the runners thus became 92 km from S\u00e4len to Mora.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"\">After a test run in 2023, Funkisvasan became a new regular race starting in 2024: a 4 km running race aimed at people with some form of disability.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"\">The Vasaloppet Summer Week has established itself as one of the summer\u2019s big events for both elite and recreational athletes.
