The app for participants
The Hemmavasan concept is based on the free app Vasaloppet. You can complete your race no matter where in the world you may be; on your favourite paths in the forests, the streets in town, along small beachside roads or in the Vasaloppet arena.
Via the app you get from the start, through the classic checkpoints and down to the finish line portal in Mora. Supporters and those interested can also follow you directly via the app and see where you’re at and how far you’ve come in your race. You can even manually register your race and result. See instructions further below.
The app Vasaloppet registers your Hemmavasan event and your finishing time. The app is available for Android smartphones, in Google Play, and in Apple’s App Store.

How to use the app

- When you are ready for start, click on Start tracking. If you are not ready for start, cancel the countdown in 15 seconds. If tracking has started there is no way to cancel or regret your race within the app. Contact Vasaloppet’s customer support if you started your race by mistake.
- When you reached the full distance of your race your finishing time will automatically be registered. Even if you continue running or cycling.

Good to know:
- You start when and where you want during Hemmavasan’s event phase from Friday, August 8, 00:00, until Saturday, August 16, 20:30.
- The app can only register one race for one person at the same time. If a family participates in a race and the kids do not have their own smartphone the kids’ results need to be registered manually after finishing.
- You can even manually register your race and result by using your login credentials.
See instructions below > - You cannot change your participation to another race directly in the app. Please contact our customer support if you request changes in your participation. Those cases can even be solved after you have finished your race.
Prepare your phone and the app
- Make sure your smartphone is fully charged. GPS tracking can decrease battery life.
- Allow your app to use your phone’s GPS services and accept to receive messages sent from the app.
- To enhance GPS tracking quality avoid covering your phone.
- The app needs GPS and enabled mobile data with sufficient mobile network coverage to be able to transmit your positions and time.
- We support the (minimum) platform versions Apple iPhone iOS 11 and Google Android Version 7.
- Please check before your race if there is an update available for the app.
When you are an Android phone user you need to ensure that all battery-optimization/battery-saving settings are disabled. Detailed information and support can be found in the pdf below.
