Snow coats the roofs in shimmering white, while skiers prepare for the race’s delight. Registration for Vasaloppet’s Winter Week 2025 is currently surging, with more than 46,000 participants already securing their spots for one of the 14 races.
Vasaloppet is a proud member of the greatest family of cross-country ski races in the world: The Worldloppet Ski Federation.

Last Friday, November 29, 2024, was "Black Friday." But those who love adventure should mark Friday, February 28, 2025 in their calendars! We would say that Nattvasan, Vasaloppet's nocturnal challenge, is the true "Black Friday". On that night, stars, the new moon, and headlamps will guide skiers towards the finish line in Mora. Welcome to a magical race, a night-time journey lined with torches and bonfires. Choose from 30, 45, or 90 kilometres. Participate individually or in pairs, with both classic and skate styles allowed.
As has now become tradition, Vasaloppet announces, exactly 100 days before Vasaloppet, the Kranskulla and Kransmas for the upcoming year's races. For 2025, they are cross-country skier Maja Heikki from Sälens IF and football player Arvid Jerkgård from IFK Mora. The 101st Vasaloppet takes place on Sunday, March 2, 2025, and the 37th Tjejvasan is on Saturday, February 22, 2025. Vasaloppet's Winter Week and Vasaloppet's Summer Week 2025 currently have close to 50,000 registered participants. Start places remain available for all races, including Vasaloppet and Tjejvasan.
In the 2024 Vasaloppet Summer Week participant survey, we asked how much participants had trained for their event, what types of exercises they practiced, and how they rated their physical capacity and health after the race. The average participant trained around 3.2 times per week, spending approximately 4.7 hours weekly over the three months leading up to the race. Here, we present the survey findings.
On behalf of Vasaloppet, the company Upplevelseinstitutet conducts an annual survey measuring participants' experiences of Vasaloppet's Summer Week. This survey assesses over twenty different parameters, which Vasaloppet then uses to enhance event development.
Ahead of Vasaloppet’s Summer Week 2025, Vasaloppet has decided on new start times for four of Cykelvasan’s five races. This means that the first starts in both Friday’s and Saturday’s races will take place at 08:00, which has also been the traditional start time for the winter Vasaloppet since 1991. Cykelvasan 90 will be broadcast live by SVT again in 2025.

He went to space with a Vasaloppet number bib and medal, both of which have now been returned to Vasaloppet. As a token of gratitude, the astronaut, who was born in Mora, received much acclaim, applause, a Dala horse and, not least, a start place in Vasaloppet 2025. "This is probably the nicest gift I've received," says Marcus Wandt.
