Vätternrundan moved to September

UPDATED: 2021-06-07

The finish line remains, but we have decided to move the Bike Week to our back-up date of 2nd-5th September. We have ruled this decision necessary in light of the current situation. So now we are planning, together with your participation, on arranging the best event possible in September.

At Vätternrundan we have worked long and hard in order to arrange an infection-safe event in 2021. We have mapped all parts of the course in order to adapt protocols and measures so as to ensure an infection-safe event. We have also had a continuing dialogue with the county’s Regional Infection Control. It had always been our hope to arrange the Bike Week as planned between 11th-19th June.

Now however, we are in a situation where we have to make a final decision. With the situation as it currently stands; a high infection rate of Covid-19 dictates that we have no other choice than to move the event.

We are going to place all our energy into arranging our fantastic events in September, the best ever, together with your participation. The new dates mean that MTB-Vättern will take place on 2nd September, Vätternrundan 315 km 3rd-4th September and Halvvättern, Tjejvättern and Vätternrundan 100 km 5th September.

Each event will be unique, none more so than Vätternrundan 315 km which for the first time since its inauguration in 1966, you will be able to experience during a different time of year than the week before mid-summer. Not only that, it will also be the premiere for the new section of the extended course. We believe it’s going to be epic!
Another huge advantage is that you will now be able to train all summer to get in shape for this year’s challenge.

Our focus on implementing controlled measures to prevent infection will be just as important in September, so that you can feel as safe as possible during our events. We are working hard to ensure that guidelines and protocols are in place so as to prevent unnecessary spreading of infection. Above all, this means making adjustments to the start, depots and the finish so as to prevent crowding.

If you have registered and have a start time for Vätternrundan 315 km, you will now find that your start has been moved to 3rd-4th September along with the same start time.
This also applies for registrations to MTB-Vättern, which will now take place on 2nd September. As for Halvvättern, Tjejvättern and Vätternrundan 100 km we have had to make some changes to the start times as these events take place on the same day. You can see your current start time in September by logging in to My Pages.

The last day for payment of your start fee is 31st May 20th June 30th June. This date applies regardless of if you have already registered and have an unpaid or partly paid start fee or if you are making a new registration to one of Vätternrundan’s events.

If you have paid partly or in full your start fee and find that you cannot take part in the event in September; there are several options open to you. You can find out more about your options in our FAQ, here below. You can make your choice between 17th–23rd May 7th-13th June.

Much will remain the same during this year’s Bike Week, and some things will be a little different, but our events will take place. And we believe, you can’t wait to get started!

Welcome in September!

Vätternrundan is counting on going ahead in 2021

Following the recent positive information regarding outdoor activities issued by the Public Health Agency of Sweden, the staff at Vätternrundan are working hard to arrange their events infection-safe between 11th – 19th June.
– Should it transpire that it will not be possible to hold the events in June, we have also a date in reserve in September, says Gunilla Brynell-Johansson, CEO for Vätternrundan.

In a report to the Government in mid-January, the Public Health Agency of Sweden proposed that outdoor events over unbounded areas should be exempt from participant restrictions; on the condition that the spread of infection decreases and that the organiser can ensure that congestion can be avoided.

It was a positive message, says Gunilla Brynell-Johansson. The report, and the new pandemic law, allow for a greater diversity of different events. Based on that message, our plan is to go ahead with the Bike Week between June 11th–19th finishing with Vätternrundan 315 km on 18th–19th June.

– We are humble in the knowledge that there are many factors that are beyond our control. Our participants, volunteers and partners are our first priority and it is paramount that we adapt the events in compliance with the situation at hand.

With an arena that stretches for tens of miles, congestion on the roads is not a major problem. What we are planning for is above all adjustments at the start, finish and depots. For example; it will be about limiting the time you as a participant can be in the start area before the start, affecting and securing an infection-safe flow in the depots and to adapt the finish-zone so as to avoid congestion.

– We are working hard with guidelines and protocols to secure the events, says Oskar Sundblad, marketing manager for Vätternrundan. We are studying everything, from the simple things such as informing participants to lead their bikes with their right hand and thereby create a natural distance, to major changes at the finish where we can guide the cyclists on different paths when they have completed the event. The Bike Week will not look the same as in previous years but it will take place.

At Vätternrundan we are collaborating with other major events in Sweden, both in dialogue with the Public Health Agency and also by working with infection-control measures in the form of protocols and routines. In addition we are also in close dialogue with the regional infection control unit.

– We feel safe with the contacts we have forged and the input we are receiving from both the Public Health Agency and the infection-control unit in Region Östergötland, even though they currently cannot give any definite information about what will happen in June, says Gunilla Brynell-Johansson.

The reserve plan – To arrange the events in September
Should it prove impossible to arrange the Bike Week in June as planned, we have a back-up plan in place. The alternative would then be move the events to 2nd–5th September.
In which case: MTB-Vättern will run on 2nd September, Vätternrundan 315 km on 3rd–4th September, Halvvättern, Tjejvättern and Vätternrundan 100 km on 5th September.

– We are committed to arranging the Bike Week in June and that is what we working toward, says Oskar Sundblad. That said, we have also gone through the alternatives and have come to the conclusion that it would also work to arrange the events in September in a beneficial way for all involved. We continue to work with June as our first alternative.

– If new developments arise that effect the planned vaccination and the spread of infection, then we would expect to announce the move of events by mid-April.

Last day for payment moved to 15th April

The uncertainty caused by the current pandemic affects us all and we want to give you additional time in which to pay the entry fee for our events.

The last day for payment will be 15th April. This date applies regardless of whether you have an assigned but unpaid /partially paid starting place, or if you re-register for one of the Vätternrundan events.

Vätternrundan prepares for 2021

PUBLISHED: 2020-09-28
Preparations for 2021’s Vätternrundan are well on the way. At this moment in time it is not quite clear exactly how it will transpire but the Bike Week’s events will be going ahead.

For the tens of thousands of cyclists that signed up for one of Vätternrundan’s events during the Bike Week, the summer of 2020 didn’t pan out as expected. Yet despite the events not taking place with start and finish in Motala, it was still a magical week of cycling.

– Almost six thousand cyclists completed ”My Vätternrundan” on home turf, says Marketing Manager Oscar Sundblad. Social media was flooded with pictures from all over the world and we were overwhelmed with the response of the cycling community’s love for all things cycling.

Now the whole Vätternrundan team is preparing for next year and despite the uncertainty surrounding possible restrictions, one thing is sure; there will be an event.

– At present we have no way of knowing just how we will implement Vätternrundan’s events in 2021 but they will take place. Perhaps not in the way we have become accustomed to expect but we are weighing up all the possibilities in order to adjust the Bike Week accordingly. It will happen.

We want to give you the time needed in order to fully understand what it is you are registering for. To this end we are delaying the dates for registration and payment. This means that the registration of interest for Vätternrundan 315 km closes on 18th January 2021, which is also the last day for registering to a pre-booked group. The main registration for Vätternrundan 315 km will open two days later, on 20th January. The last day to pay the rest of your start fee for those that moved their start time in any of Vätternrundan’s events from 2020 to 2021 is the 27th of January. See all the dates in our calendar.

– Don’t stop pedalling, says Oscar Sundblad. Autumn is beautiful, spring is soon here and the goal remains the same. There will be a week of cycling in Motala in 2021. See you there.

UPDATED: 2020-12-09

The last date for payment is moved back again

The uncertainty caused by the current pandemic affects us all and we want to give you additional time in which to pay the entry fee for our events.

The last date for payment will be March 1st unless otherwise announced before then. This date applies regardless of if you have to pay the remainder of the start fee due, because you chose to keep 2020’s start time, or because you are re-registering for Vätternrundan’s events.

If for example, you were to register today, or when Vätternrundan’s main registration opens on January 20th, payment must still be made by March 1st.
