The annual broom race is held in Sweden and has been contested from the tenth century. Entrants race a course of 437 miles from Kopparberg to Arjeplog. The course runs through a dragon reservation, and the vast trophy is in the shape of Swedish Short-Snout. Currently, it is an international event, with wizards and witches from all over the world attending, seeing off the competitors at Kopparberg, then apparating to Arjeplog to welcome the survivors.

Behind the scenes

It might be a reference to the famous Swedish ski-race, the Vasalopp.
