What to do with your clothes

The team has received two plastic sacks to pack clothes in, one for section 1 and one for section 2. The plastic sacks are marked with the team’s start number. Keep your change of clothes dry with an extra plastic bag inside your bag when you send it with our transportation trucks.

Section 1
We recommend packing your change of clothes in a backpack, and putting that backpack in the plastic sack. It is the participant’s responsibility to make sure the plastic sack is left in the designated location at the start area. The organizers will transport the sack to Mångsbodarna.
When you’ve skied your section you will collect the plastic sack at the designated location before going on the bus back to Sälen, or on to Evertsberg (continuing to Mora for those who want).

Section 2
We recommend packing your change of clothes in a backpack, and putting that backpack in the plastic sack. It is the participant’s responsibility to make sure the plastic sack is left in the designated location at the change over in Mångsbodarna. The organizers will transport the sack to Evertsberg. In Evertsberg the plastic sack can be collected at the designated location.

Section 3–5
All participants handle transporting their own clothes. A tip is to carry your clothes in a backpack during the race.
