We
would like to announce that the first edition of Metsjövidda Fjällrace is now
history. In this unique long distance sled dog race the mushers and their
huskies covered a distance of 265 km of beautiful mountain terrain. In the three
checkpoints the teams were provided with straw and fresh water. A mandatory rest
of 5 hours had to be taken in the halfway checkpoint where – after feeding and
bedding down the 4-legged athletes – a hot elk-stew was served for the
mushers.
