North American Vasa Charity Profile

North American Vasa is based on the Swedish Vasalopet, and 85-kilometer race attracting 12,000 skiers each year. The Vasaloppet, in turn, was inspired by the example of Gustav Eriksson Vasa, who skied to freedom from Danish invaders in 1518 and rallied the resistance to liberate his country, earning his the Swedish crown.

North American Vasa Volunteer Information

The North American VASA has not only been attended by thousands of skiers through the years but has also relied upon the spirit of hundreds of volunteers. It is no understatement in saying that without the volunteers there would be no VASA. Volunteering can be as much as a reward as skiing the event! Individuals are needed in a variety of capacities - packet stuffing, registration, aid stations, course marshals, finish line and awards are just a few. We'll do our best to match your skills to one of many areas of need. In addition to the excitement of being close to the event, we also have many other rewards for being a volunteer. Depending upon the year, we may offer t-shirts, hats, fanny packs, or join us at the volunteer dinner hosted by the VASA Board and prepared by our fine food sponsor. You may also walk away with one of our many door prizes!
