We are a non-profit organization owned by IFK Mora and S\u00e4lens IF, and a motivator for public health and sports associations. In our forefathers’ tracks for the\u00a0victories of tomorrow!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Vasaloppet is the world\u2019s biggest organizer of recreational races and a part of En Svensk Klassiker. Vasaloppet\u2019s Winter Week, with cross-country skiing, and the Summer Week, with mountain biking and running, annually attract almost 100,000 registered participants. Since the start in 1922 over a million participants have passed the finish line in Mora.<\/p>\n\n

Who owns Vasaloppet?<\/h2>\n\n

The events are owned by Vasaloppsf\u00f6reningen S\u00e4len-Mora, a non-profit organization with about 35 year-round employees whose job is to administer, plan and carry out Vasaloppet\u2019s various events. The organization in turn is owned by the sports associations IFK Mora Idrottsallians (77 percent) and S\u00e4lens IF (23 percent).<\/p>\n\n

Vasaloppet is owned and run by sports associations and all the money that isn\u2019t used to buy blueberry soup, prepare tracks, arrange transport or develop the arrangements, goes right back into the sports movement. Apart from generating money for the activities of the owning clubs, Vasaloppet also makes it possible for members of many sports associations to make money for their associations by working as functionaries. These associations provide a total of about 4,000 functionaries in connection with our races.<\/p>\n\n

The Vasaloppet Arena<\/h2>\n\n

The 90 kilometre Vasaloppet Arena winds its way through the municipalities of Malung-S\u00e4len, \u00c4lvdalen and Mora, and the arrangement plays a large part in local industry and growth along the track. The latest economical tourism measurements showed that Vasaloppet participants and visitors spend almost half a billion SEK in connection with the events each year.<\/p>\n\n

Vasaloppet\u00b4s soul<\/h2>\n\n

Our functionaries are as important as the snow. Their work is not only key to the event, it also contributes millions of SEK to the sports movement. Many Vasaloppet participants can attest that it is the functionaries\u2019 joy and energy that conveys the festive feeling and the so-called \u201cVasaloppet spirit.\u201d Functionaries are quite simply the soul of Vasaloppet, and as many as a tenth of the residents in the Vasaloppet municipalities are Vasaloppet functionaries.<\/p>\n\n

For a long time, the functionary work was done by about twenty associations, but in pace with the growth of the event that number has more than doubled. The area has also expanded, and today the associations come from many Dalarna municipalities.<\/p>\n\n

On the page\u00a0Functionaries<\/em>\u00a0you can read more about these heroes!<\/p>\n\n
