Since the first race in 1922 over 1.5 million participants have passed the finish line portal in Mora.
The 90 km race on the first Sunday of March is the longest, oldest and most prestigious ski race in Visma Ski Classics. This mass-start race has normally 16,000 participants standing together at the same start area.
