Folksam Motionsloppsförsäkring Bas

Folksam Motionsloppsförsäkring Bas is the cancellation and accident insurance that you can take out when you register your entry to any of Vasaloppet’s various races. With the insurance you get the entire entry fee back if you are injured or sick and unable to start your race.

Folksam Motionsloppsförsäkring Bas costs only 155 SEK for a whole year and applies to all Swedish recreational races.

Folksam Motionsloppsförsäkring Bas is valid for one year from the date it is taken out and this is normally done in connection with registering an entry to one or other of Vasaloppet’s races.

If you have a Folksam Motionsloppsförsäkring Bas policy and become ill or are injured and cannot take part in your race, you can contact Folksam.

Bear in mind that, irrespective of when you take out the insurance, you should not have a known injury or sickness which, already at the point of purchase of the policy, would make it impossible for you to start in your race.

Foreign participants are very welcome to take out a Folksam Motionsloppsförsäkring Bas policy.
