Back in the 80’s, Downtown Traverse City was host to the Vasa Sprints, made possible by big front loaders dumping snow on the downtown streets. The finish was right in front of the historic Park Place Hotel.

On Saturday, February 8, from 4-7 pm, we are celebrating the North American Vasa community with a party at the Park Place.

Please register for the party when you register for the race. The event will include food, a cash bar, live music by the Daylites, prizes, an awards presentation for the Saturday races, and recognition of the King Vasa Club.

The Park Place is also the official hotel for the North American Vasa and will offer a block of discounted rooms for Vasa participants. When booking your reservation please use code VASA25.
