So far, 18,000 have registered for this summer's week. Vasaloppet, which organizes the summer week, is working to find alternatives for these, but has thus closed for further applications.

- By April 28, we will be providing more information, but we need these weeks to work through our alternatives.

The Stockholm Marathon has chosen to postpone the race to September, while several of the major races have chosen to suspend. The Gothenburg shipyard, which will be decided in May, decided last week to cancel this year's edition.

Several races are forced to set

The Vättern Round, which was to be decided in mid-June, has also been canceled.

- It's a tough decision. But we see no opportunity to go ahead and plan for an event at this time, ”says Vätternrundan's CEO Gunilla Brynell-Johansson, to the competition's website.

In addition, the Copenhagen Marathon, Vårruset and Tjejmilen 21K have been canceled.

The Vansbro swim, the Midnight race and the O-ring are still aiming to carry out their races at some time this year.

- It is the flagship of the orientation movement. It would be tough to have a set O-ring, said Jens Lindquist, acting CEO of SVT Sport this week.
