Vasaloppet - 100 year anniversary

Vasaloppet, the ski race between Sälen and Mora, is the world’s biggest long-distance ski race. In 2022, Vasaloppet will be 100 years old and celebrated with a Jubileumsvasa (Jubilee Vasaloppet), a race in tribute to the pioneers that put the first race together in 1922 with 139 participants. Also a new race, Vasaloppet 10, is intended to be a roughly 10 km long, 100th birthday party.
