The new cut-off times mean that all participants will have an extra hour to complete the race.
“Vasaloppet is still a big challenge, but we want to give more people the opportunity to succeed,” says Vasaloppet CEO Johan Eriksson in a press release.
The cut-off times will also be permanent and will not be adjusted on race day.
The change means that the last participants are expected to cross the finish line around 10 p.m. instead of 9 p.m.
