The annual Vasaloppet Fundraiser has adopted a new date and format to celebrate 50 years of Vasaloppet. This year, the fundraiser is a week-long event. The fun begins with the Swedish Mile Trail Run and Family Fun Day on October 9th when the online auction opens up, and then concludes with the new social event on October 16th. Mark your calendars and plan to attend a fun evening with friends and Vasaloppet acquaintances and help provide critical funding for the race and snowmaking. The new social event format includes:

• New 2 hour (or so) format
• Ample time to socialize
• Bountiful hors d’oeuvres & cash bar
• Raffles (Of course! It’s a fundraiser)
• Special 50th Celebration program

We are changing things up this year, and adding a whole lot of other fun activities for the whole family.

Bring the whole family to the Nordic Center and join us for lunch or beverages, enjoy a self-guided tour around the Vasaloppet grounds, learn about our youth ski program “Fast Tracks,” have a free s’more at the Marshmallow Shack, take a hayride, and explore the Vasaloppet trails in the colors of fall.  We’re working to build this into a fantastic day to be outdoors in Minnesota’s fall weather.

In addition to the trail run event, this year, the Swedish Mile will be the kick-off event for our new, week-long annual fundraiser format. The online auction will begin and the winners will be announced at the October 16th fundraiser social event. 

The Swedish Mile Trail Race includes a 10k timed trail race, a 5k fun run, a kid’s 1k or .5k race, and everyone gets a finishers medal. See complete details and schedule of events here.

You can REGISTRATION HERE for all of the trail run events. We hope you and your family will join us for this inaugural event.

A skier development fund has been established in honor of Tom Giese, a former Vasaloppet board member and president; Mora high school Nordic ski coach, and a long time advocate of cross country skiing. Tom passed away on August 9 at age 73.

“Be a skier!” is one of the often-remembered sayings that is associated with memories of Tom. He instilled a work ethic in everyone he coached over the years that allowed them to be the best in all aspects of life. His love of skiing and coaching was an important part of his life and he will leave a lasting memory with everyone that knew him that is much bigger than skiing alone.
