10 reasons why Challenge Vansbro is your next adventure

  1. THE FRESH WATER

The river Västerdalälven’s fresh water is a good enough reason to participate in Challenge Vansbro. Västerdalälven has its source at the mountain Fulufjället in northern Dalarna and is a part of Sweden’s third longest river, Dalälven.

 

  1. THE VARIATION

During Vansbrosimningens two weekends there are 11 different races to choose from. Everything from 25 meters in pool for the kids to 10,000 meters in open water, and of course triathlon. The first weekend is our Challenge weekend with Challenge Middle distance and olympic distance but also Vansbro 10k (10km swim) and Vansbro Öppen Älv (3km swim).

  1. THE TRADITION

Vansbrosimningen started already in 1950 when the good friends Mats Qvarfot and Einar Anselius sat at the shore and made plans for a propaganda swim which eventually became Vansbrosimningen 3km. The propaganda swim with 10 participants (1950) has evolved to one of the largest open water events in the world and by 2023 we’ll have 11 races on our menu. If you want to experience the wings of history, you should definitely participate in the races arranged by Vansbrosimningen!
