Vasaloppet, the 90 km ski race between
Sälen and Mora, has been run every year since 1922 with only a few
exceptions (winters with too less snow). It's always held on the
first Sunday of March and the number of participants exceeds 10
000. Different races covering different distances are run in the
week before the 'real' race; 90 km, 45 km, 30 km and 30 km only for
women.
The position given above is actually just
behind the finish line of the race. Go there and imagine you are
crossing the line after having been skiing for maybe ten hours.
What a feeling ! As it turned out to be almost impossible to hide a
regular geocache close to the ski track through Mora we choose to
make this one a virtual cache instead.

Vasaloppet is one of four events in the "A Swedish Classic" ("En
svensk klassiker"). The other three are Vansbrosimmet (GC70C7),
Lidingöloppet (GC944F) and Vätternrundan (a cache yet to come).
