Thanks for joining us in the all new 44th Annual North American VASA, presented by Short's Brewing Company and Chemical Bank!
Join the Fun!
The North American Vasa has been a Traverse City tradition since 1977. For 44 years we have been celebrating winter with our “Festival of Races.” The entire community comes together to make it all possible. Whether you’re a newbie to the sport of cross country skiing or a seasoned racer, young or not so young, “The Vasa” has something to offer you. We offer ski races from 6 to 50km in both classic and skate styles for all ages. And that’s not all: in recent years we welcomed the addition of fat bike races, and this year, we are excited to be offering a snowshoe race. Timber Ridge Resort hosts the festivities, and events take place in the beautiful Pere Marquette Forest. All this is in the backyard of the vibrant town of Traverse City. We hope you join us!
Short's Brewing
We are excited to have Short’s back as our co-title sponsor for the sixth year. Plenty of their great craft beers will be made available for your post-race ‘hoppiness’ in our toasty Event Tent at Timber Ridge. We LOVE Short’s – for many reasons!
Chemical Bank
Chemical Bank has been a Vasa sponsor since 2011 and will be sharing the Vasa title sponsorship role with Short’s Brewing for the fourth year. Chemical Bank has become a major banking institution with ten local bank locations in the greater Traverse City area as well as their main branch at 625 South Garfield Avenue. We are very pleased to have their support!
