Welcome to Cykelvasan Öppet Spår
Your cycling event begins in Berga by, Sälen. You can pick up your start number in Mora or in Sälen, either in the days before or at the start area before you head off. Once there, you leave your bag with change of clothes at the correct truck – which safely transports your bag to the finish. The first start is at 10.30, followed by group starts with approximately 200 participants every five minutes. Entry opens approximately 40 minutes before each start.
The course covers 90 km of forest roads or gravel and 1 km of asphalt on classic Vasaloppsmark, and you pass a total of seven checkpoints. Here you can refuel with drinks and energy, and there’s also bike service where you can get help with simple repairs. Toilets and medical personnel are available at all checkpoints.
There are four cut-off times – at the checkpoints in Evertsberg, Oxberg, Hökberg and Eldris – but you have plenty of time to reach the finish, which closes at 20.00. Remember to be considerate on the course: look an extra time before you overtake and listen carefully to other cyclists’ calls like “keep right” and “passing on the left”.
When you arrive in Mora and glimpse the church tower, you know the final stretch is approaching. Then it’s time to gear up for the finish. Remember to savor the moment as you roll in under the historic finish line.
After crossing the finish line, you receive your well-earned medal and are offered drinks and snacks. When you’re ready, cycle to the showers at Prästholmens IP where your bag is waiting. After showering and washing your bike, you can cycle back to the finish area, pick up your diploma and continue celebrating and mingling with all the other cyclists. Guarded, free bike parking is available at the finish area and at Prästholmen.
Every finish is a victory. We’ll see you on the course!

Along the Vasaloppet course there are seven official checkpoints: Smågan, Mångsbodarna, Risberg, Evertsberg, Oxberg, Hökberg and Eldris.
Drink and energy in various forms is served at all checkpoints. Specifics on what is served can be found on the detailed race map. There are toilets and medical services at all checkpoints, as well as at the start and finish.
We will help with repairs at all the checkpoints along the track. An invoice for any materials used will be mailed to you after the race; the service itself is free of charge.
At all checkpoints (not Hökberg), you can choose a “drive-through-corridor” without stopping for any refreshments.

If you arrive too late at a checkpoint you must abort the race. But we will of course arrange bus transport to Mora.

Sometimes things don’t go as planned. It’s completely okay not to finish.
Contact medical staff or an official at the nearest checkpoint. They will help you with taking care of your timing chip, reporting your withdrawal and arranging transport to the finish in Mora.
