Ultravasan
cross-country running event in Dalarna, Sweden
Ultravasan is an annual ultramarathon and trail run in Sweden, which was hosted for the first time in 2014 following the route of the ski race Vasaloppet. The 90 km race is the largest ultramarathon race in Sweden, and attracts more participants than the 45 km event.
The race is arranged on two distances:
Ultravasan 90: Start in Sälen and finish in Mora, following the same trail as Vasaloppet. The race was originally 90 km, but after some modifications in 2023, the course is now 92 km. The course has also had several minor changes over the years, notably incorporating more technical terrain in the first half of the race.
Ultravasan 45: Start in Oxberg and finish in Mora, following the second half of the Vasaloppet trail. The course is around 45 km in distance.
The races are part of the Vasaloppet Summer Week, along with the bike races CykelVasan and the shorter running races TrailVasan.
Notable performances
Jonas Buud was involved in the creation of the race, and won the first two editions of Ultravasan 90. His time in 2015 is still held as the course record, although the course is now longer.

Why this record matters
“Ultravasan” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Ultravasan, cross-country and running provides the most credible route into that argument.
Contemporary correspondence, administrative files and participant testimony can test how later narratives organized the event or institution. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 19, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q17277891. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2014, 2023 and 2015.
Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
