Press Accreditation Vasaloppet's Winter Week 2018
The time has come for another Winter Week, starting with Kortvasan on Friday, February 23, and finishing with the 93th Vasaloppet on Sunday, March 4. Welcome!
In 2017 a total of 97,411 participants registered for Vasaloppet's races. Both the Winter Week and Summer Week have grown massively in recent years and Vasaloppet now arranges ten winter races and ten summer races in the Vasaloppet Arena. For the seventh year in a row, the Vasaloppet Winter Week will attract over 60,000 registrants, and there are plenty of start places still available in many of the races. This year the snow supply is also exceptionally good.
This year's Kranskulla Sara Wadman and Kransmas Joakim Kullberg will be working hard. Among the races we find the world's biggest ski race just for women (the 30th anniversary Tjejvasan), the world's biggest ski relay race (Stafettvasan), the world's biggest night ski race (Nattvasan, under a full moon this year!) and the world's biggest cross-country ski race (the 94th Vasaloppet). Those who wish can also complete Vasaloppstrippeln in 2018 by skiing, biking and running 90 or 45 kilometres.
