History
Gustav Eriksson’s adventure in Dalarna took place during the winter of 1520–21. On June 6, 1523 he was elected King of Sweden – as Gustav Vasa. The first Vasaloppet took place in 1922. This year will see the 101st Vasaloppet, which is also the 29th with a special competition class for women (started in 1997). Since 1948, the race has always run on the first Sunday of March, except in 2015 when it ran on March 8.

Sveriges Television
The first live TV broadcast of Vasaloppet took place in 1966. This will be the 48th time that Vasaloppet (in part or in its entirety) is transmitted live, and it’s the 43rd time that the Vasaloppet start is broadcast live on television. 1973 was the first year with a live broadcast in colour. Since 1992 Vasaloppet has been shown live every year.

This is the eleventh year that Yvette Hermundstad is hosting the broadcast on Sveriges Television (SVT). Jacob Hård and Anders Blomquist have commentated the SVT broadcast every year since 1995 with only two exceptions (1997 and 2016), making this their 29th time covering Vasaloppet together.

Facts about participants

The winners receive a medal, garland, horse, handicraft and a check 
The flower ceremony for the top three finishers in the women’s and men’s class takes place at the belfry approximately ten minutes after the third woman crosses the finish line. The official awards ceremony for Vasaloppet 2025 will be held at 15:00 at Mora-Nisse’s square in the finish area. Training scholarships will be awarded to the top 15 men and the top 15 women. The prize sum is the same in the men’s and women’s class.

The first prize (for both men and women) is a gold medal, a green salal leaf garland, a big red Dalecarlian horse and a cheque of 101,000 SEK. In addition, the victors receive the sponsors’ honorary award, a brass cast ship’s bell, awarded this year by Preem. The men’s class winner will also get the Kranskulla honorary award, an embroidered pillow. (The Kransmas honorary award was given at Tjejvasan.) The women’s champion receives a pair of twine-knitted mittens with a ”Vasaloppet 2025” embroidery, from Mora Hemslöjd.

There are seven sprint prizes for both men and women: 10,000 SEK in Evertsberg (The Hill Prize) and 5,000 SEK at the six other checkpoints; Smågan, Mångsbodarna, Risberg, Oxberg, Hökberg and Eldris.

The total prize sum for Vasaloppet 2025 is 622,000 SEK. If a participant sets a new record time in the men’s or women’s class of Vasaloppet they will also be awarded a 50,000 SEK record bonus. Current record time for women: 3.50.06 (Astrid Øyre Slind, 2022). Current record time for men: 3.28.18 (Tord Asle Gjerdalen, 2021).

Placement medals – gold, silver and bronze – are awarded to those who come first, second and third. Participants who finish within the winning time plus 50 percent are awarded the Vasaloppet achievement medal. Everyone who completes Vasaloppet gets a diploma and a participation medal.

Ski Classics has a ”climb prize” at the course’s highest point, 528 metres above sea level, three kilometres after the start. The first seven men and women to reach this height get points in the Climb Trophy cup. Ski Classics also keeps track of sprints in Smågan and Evertsberg; the first seven men and women to reach those checkpoints get points in the Sprint Trophy cup.

No Grand Slam this year
For the 2020/21 season, Ski Classics launched ”The Grand Classics” which includes the four big races Marcialonga in Italy, Jizerska50 in the Czech Republic, Vasaloppet in Sweden and Birkebeinerrennet in Norway. These four races are valued higher in Ski Classics: Winners now get 500 points in the overall cup. If a skier wins all four in one and the same season, they make a Grand Slam and win 100,000 Euros. So far in history, no skier has managed to win all four races during the same season, not since Ski Classics started nor before. Since Marcialonga and Jizerská50 had different winners this year, no one can win a Grand Slam 2025.

The 101st Kranskulla and 37th Kransmas
This year’s Kranskulla is Maja Heikki from Sälens IF (who came 20th in Tjejvasan this past Saturday) and Kransmas is footballer Arvid Jerkgård from IFK Mora.

Number bibs colour and series in Vasaloppet 2025
Women’s number bibs are yellow while men’s are white. Veterans, who have completed at least 30 races, always wear an orange number bib with their name on it. Elite women have the prefix F (female) in the start and results list, while elite men have the prefix M (male). Veterans have the prefix V in the start and results list.

The top 50 women and top 100 men from Vasaloppet 2024 receive their placement from that race as their start number in Vasaloppet 2025, meaning start numbers 1–50 for women and 1–100 for men, with their name printed on the bib. Other elite women are assigned start numbers from 51 upwards, and other elite men are assigned numbers from 101 upwards.

Other women and men are assigned start numbers beginning at 1000 for start group 1, 2000 for start group 2, and so on up to start group 10. If there are more than 1000 participants in a start group, additional men receive numbers starting at 11000, and women starting at 17000.

The 900 or so participants who have opted for a personalized bib with their name receive start numbers from the series beginning at 20000.

Ban on littering and fluorinated ski wax
If a participant is found to have littered in or along the Vasaloppet course (which is a nature reserve) then he or she will receive a time penalty of 15 minutes. This rule was introduced in 2017. Disposing of litter is permitted in three different ways: In the bins at the Vasaloppet checkpoints; In the marked littering zones between each Vasaloppet checkpoint; Where you as a participant know that a team leader or associate will pick up what you throw. For elite skiers Vasaloppet holds special dialogue, requiring that each team takes responsibility for, and picks up, any of their waste that is thrown along the track. Since 2024, Vasaloppet has a total ban on the use of fluorinated ski wax in all Winter Week races.

Weather
The coldest temperature at a Vasaloppet start in Sälen was -30 degrees Celsius, measured in 1935 and 1987. The warmest starting temperature, +4.5 degrees Celsius, was in 2015. Over the 100 years that Vasaloppet has run since 1922, it’s been below zero at the start 86 times, zero degrees 7 times and above zero 7 times.

Vasaloppet’s Summer Week 2025
Vasaloppet doesn’t just have a Winter Week. Since 2009 there’s also a Vasaloppet Summer Week with twelve mountain bike and running races, such as Cykelvasan 90 and Ultravasan 90. See the complete list of races below.

Vasaloppstrippeln x3
Vasaloppstrippeln means completing three different types of Vasaloppet during one and the same calendar year. The participant skis in Vasaloppet’s Winter Week and runs and cycles the same distance in Vasaloppet’s Summer Week in August. The distances are 90, 45 or 30 kilometres.
