Ultravasan and Vasastafetten 2016 2016-08-18 10:19 CEST Ultravasan and Vasastafetten 2016 Vasaloppet's Summer Week 2016 has come halfway. The cyclists have finished and this weekend the Vasaloppet Arena will welcome about 7,000 runners from about 20 different nations. World elite and recreational athletes meet in Ultravasan, over 500 teams are registered for Vasastafetten, one team is trying for Vasakvartetten, and 32 people have a chance of completing Vasaloppstrippeln. Here we have compiled a lot of facts, statistics and trivia for the third ever Ultravasan and the 26th Vasastafetten. The following three races, with a total of seven classes, will run on Saturday August 20: - Ultravasan 90. 90 km. (Two classes: Women and Men.) Starting in Sälen at 05:00. - Ultravasan 45. 45 km. (Two classes: Women and Men.) Starting in Oxberg at 09:00. - Vasastafetten. 90 km divided into ten sections that are 4.5-15 km. Running relay race for ten-person teams. (Three classes: Women, Men and Mixed. Each participant may only compete for one team and run one stretch. Women = no men allowed. Men = any number of women. Mixed = at least 3 women in the team.) Starting in Sälen at 09:00. Ultravasan 90 starts, like the traditional Vasaloppet, in Sälen, following the track east towards Mora. The 45 km race starts in Oxberg and largely follows Halvvasan's course along the Oxberg lake over to Vasslan before connecting to the Ultravasan 90 track. In Vasastafetten every team has ten participants, each running a section of the 90 km stretch between Sälen and Mora. Ultra is the name of races longer than the marathon distance of 42,195 metres, and "trail" or "terrain" means that the main part of the race is not on asphalt. Ultravasan 90 (and Vasastafetten) are run on the following surfaces: 57 km forest road/Vasaloppsspåret, 9 km gravel, 18 km paths, and 6 km asphalt. The track incline is 867 metres. More on sections and surfaces: http://www.vasaloppet.se/en/races/running-races/vasastafetten/how-the- race-works/the-sections-of-vasastafetten Apart from the races mentioned above there is also "Barnens Vasalopp löpning" on August 19, a children's running race for the very youngest, up to about 10 years of age. In Sälen the race stretches are 500, 1,000 or 1,500 metres, and in Mora the stretch is about 700 metres. Track changes Ultravasan 90 and Vasastafetten have, this year, gotten 4.5 kilometres of new track after Mångsbodarna; a nice old path where Vasaloppsleden runs. This year's new section does not affect the total length or incline of the track. See this film about the track changes 2016: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FT6q_FsjcJA Registration numbers, Wednesday August 17, 2016 Ultravasan 90: 962 (770 men and 192 women) from 20 nations and aged 18–70. Ultravasan 45: 710 (407 men and 303 women) from 14 nations and aged 18–56. Vasastafetten: 5,110 runners in 511 teams (100 male teams, 46 female teams and 365 mixed teams).

Last year it was sports organizer Mats Andreasson's team that won the men's class for the fifth year in a row, with a time of 4.58.50. Olle Walleräng ran the last section, again receiving the garland from the Kranskulla and running together with his teammates across the finish line. Best club team, in second place, was IFK Mora men's team 1, about 20 minutes after the winning team. In the ladies class it was home team IFK Mora that took the victory, while IFK Lidingö SOK won the mixed class. (Lidingö was also third team in total to cross the finish line). Worth noting is that the Ultravasan 90 winner, Jonas Buud, with his time of 5.45.08, would have come in sixth if he'd been running as a team of his own in Vasastafetten 2015. Vasaloppstrippeln Vasaloppstrippeln is the new official name of a challenge taken on over a calendar year. 2014 was the first year one could complete Vasaloppstrippeln, which consists of Vasaloppet/Öppet Spår (skiing), Cykelvasan 90/Cykelvasan Öppet Spår (cycling) and Ultravasan 90 (running). That year, 14 people managed the achievement. In 2015, that exclusive group counted 18 in number, one of whom was a woman. One person has managed this triple feat both years. This year, 2016, there are 32 people, four of whom are women, who have completed the skiing and cycling and who are now also registered for Ultravasan 90. Vasakvartetten The Swedish magazine Runner's World has put together a team of two men and two women who will run a test race, splitting the 90 km stretch into four sections. http://www.runnersworld.se/blogs/vasakvartetten/index.htm Kranskulla and Kransmas 2016 This year's Kranskulla and Kransmas are, just like this past winter, Hanna Eriksson (from Mora) and Johan Wellert (from Sälen).

  • The World's Best Runner Participating in Ultravasan 2019
    2019-05-12 10:22 CEST The world's best runner participating in Ultravasan 2019 When the time comes for the sixth Ultravasan 90 on Saturday, August 17, we'll see the world's foremost ultrarunner, Jim Walmsley from the US, on the starting line. Walmsley, who has been called the "Michael Jordan of ultrarunning" set a new 50 mile world record (80.467 km) at an invitation race in California this past Saturday. Last year he also won the big ultrarunning race The Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run (161 km) with a new record time. Will Jim Walmsley also become the first American to win Ultravasan? August 17 is the big running day in the Vasaloppet Arena. Four different races with ten different classes will run: Ultravasan 90 for women and men; Ultravasan 45 women and men; Vasastafetten women, men and a leisure class; and Vasakvartetten with women, men and leisure. When it comes to Ultravasan, one of Scandinavia's biggest ultrarunning races, there are about ten percent more registered participants compared to this same time in 2018 and there are still plenty of places available in both Ultravasan 90 and Ultravasan 45. It was at Hoka One One's 100 km invite only race in Sacramento, California, on Saturday May 4 that 29-year-old Jim Walmsley from Flagstaff, Arizona, passed the 50-mile mark with the best recorded time ever, 4.50.08. (In order for this record to be approved he had to complete the race. The high pace to beat the record took its toll but in the Californian heat he still set a new personal 100 km record.) The previous 50 miles record was 4.50.51 and it was set as early as 1983 by Bruce Fordyce in the London–Brighton ultrarunning race.
