Barnens Vasalopp was held in Hindås, Sweden. The event was organized by Hindås skidklubb, which has reportedly arranged it for at least 15 years, according to the club's chairman Göran Backlund. The start was described as almost as fast and chaotic as the start in the real Vasaloppet, and reportedly, someone fell at the start.
Participants included Katarina Dobsicek and Benjamin Walther, who aimed for more than 20 laps on the half-kilometer course. The youngest participants, all with start number 1, started first, and when they were farthest on the course and began turning back toward the finish, the next start group was released.
