Our co-worker
For several years now, Cia Sundkvist has been involved in organizing the Amundsen Race, as she did this year also but instead of helping out as a volunteer during the race itself, she decided to race with her 8 dog team. Unfortunately, she had to scratch at the last checkpoint, which is a pity sinc
Another fighter
Kevin Koene from the Netherlands is another jolly musher. Last year, because of a snowstorm and after a lot of thinking and torment, he decided to scratch the race. Now, he’s trying anew. There is also a lot of snow this time, but no storm winds, nor high mountains to pass this year. Good luck [&
Everyone is doing its best
The leading dog teams deserve a lot of attention and are worthy of our admiration, as well as the mushers with less experience of long distance races who are really doing their best to get to the finish line. French musher Gilles Demeu was the last one to reach checkpoint Norråker 2 and we hope [&
Spanish style of mushing
One of our spanish mushers has his own style: Not many swedish musher would dare to drive without a hat in winter…. Musher: Antonio Parra

Spanish musher Salva Luque is being chased by Bernhard Klammer. Will his previous experiences competing in Mush Synnfjell and Bergebyløpet 650 help him keeping away in this race?

Fighting for Swedish championship
Is Håkan Nisula sure to be Swedish champion in the 12 dog class? His 26 minutes’ lead on his closest competitor, Marco Wyss, has now grown to a lot more as Marco Wyss hasn’t left the checkpoint yet. This also means that Martin Gröger who will leave very soon has a chance to win a […]
Going for the finish
The teams are now starting to leave the last checkpoint. Opening the way is French musher Daniel Juillaguet, who has participated in the Amundsen Race since 2014. He has made the podium every time, but he has won before. Will it be his turn to win the race this time?
Lots of new snow
Rookie Petra Kunz will leave the last checkpoint with a 33 minutes lead on Taisto Torneus, a man with lots of experience. He, himself will be chased by Linda Ahnlund. So far, Petra Kunz has had the fastest runs in her class (and challenges even the fastest 12 dog teams) and it’s really going to [
