The King is joining the Virtual Racing League
On March 7th a small group of elite skiers will ski the king of cross-country skiing races, the Vasaloppet – the Swedish Worldloppet race. Popular skiers are prevented to participate. But the organizers came up with some ideas, to offer the Vasa experience also to amateurs, including the possibility to get a stamp in your Worldloppet Passport and another challenge for the Virtual Racing League.
Individual skiing in the Vasaloppet arena
The VasaAket is an open track event, organized between 12th February and 7th March. The participants can register for a distance of 10km, 30km, 45km and the full 90km and to the race on the original course, but individually. When registering, the participant can choose day and time within the race periode. As the VasaAket runs on the original race course, finishing the race is valid for the Worldloppet Passport. Registration and detailed information, you can find on Vasaloppet’s Website.
VasaAket joining the Virtual Racing League
All who can not travel to Sweden, are invited to join VasaAket virtually. Therefor you need to register on Vasaloppet’s Website and choose “VasaAket Hemma” (Home Edition) and download the Vasaloppet App. The App will guide you throughout your virtual event and lead you through the real race course (virtually of course). This virtual event is now part of the Virtual Racing League.
You can participate in the four real distances (10km, 30km, 45km & 90km). The costs are same like for the real VasaAket, as it counts as the real one.
