‼️ Mark Your Calendar: Amundsen Race to Host 2027 Long Distance World Championship in Sweden: AR250

Amundsen Race to Host World Sleddog Association Long Distance World Championship in 2027

The organizing committee of the Amundsen Race (AR) and the World Sleddog Association (WSA) are delighted to announce that in 2027, AR 250 will serve as the WSA’s Long Distance World Championship for purebred sled dogs.
Starting in Strömsund, Sweden, the Amundsen Race is widely respected for its demanding course and remote wilderness setting. The event challenges mushers and their dog teams with extended distances, variable terrain, and the unpredictable conditions of the Scandinavian winter.
“We are very excited to be hosting the WSA Long Distance World Championship in 2027,” said Edmond Schoemacher, Race Director of the Amundsen Race. “That the WSA entrusts us with their long-distance world championship reflects the dedication of our team, volunteers, and community, and the quality of the race we have built over the years. We look forward to welcoming the best mushers and their purebred teams to Strömsund in 2027.”
The World Sleddog Association, the international governing body for purebred sled dog racing, selected the Amundsen Race for its proven ability to deliver a challenging and well-organized long-distance competition.
“The Amundsen Race represents everything that defines world-class long-distance mushing,” said Arno Steichler, chairman of the WSA. “Its course, organization, and commitment to the welfare of the dogs make it an ideal host for our 2027 Long-Distance World Championship.”
World championship titles will be available in the following classes: AR 250 – 8 dog class RNB1, AR 250 – 12 dog class RNB1, AR250 – 8 dog class RNB2. The Amundsen Race will take place from 25 – 28 February 2027 with registrations opening on 4 October 2026.
Further information regarding the race, qualification criteria, and registration will be announced in due course.

Time for Awards – Because Amundsen Race is more than speed

Some prizes are not measured in hours and minutes.

🐾 Best Dog Care was awarded to Buck de Lang — a recognition of outstanding care, attention and responsibility towards his dogs throughout the race. Dogs first, before , during and after the race. Well-deserved and presented by the VET-team.

🧹 Best Checkpoint Clean-Up — a first-ever award at Amundsen Race, and possibly worldwide — went to Martin, handler of Roman Habáko. His exceptional effort in leaving every checkpoint spotless did not go unnoticed. Respect for the trail, the volunteers and the race organization matters. And Martin set a new standard. Presented by Tineke and Anton, Checkpoint Responsible for Fjällsikten.

🔥 Motivational Award, presented by Uwe, went to Claudia Volk — for perseverance, courage and the reminder to keep believing in yourself, go got everything that you need within you.

And finally — the people behind it all.

The Amundsen Race Crew.
Endless hours before the start. Long days and short nights during the race. And still work to do after the last team has finished.

Trail crew, vets, volunteers, organizers, media team — this race stands on your shoulders.

Without you, there is no Amundsen Race.
Thank you. 💙🐾

One last prize given from the Crew to Mascha and Endmond as a simple but strong "Thank you for everything you did, do and will do - We love you."
And if that does not tell you "We are a family at Amundsen Race" - then what will convince you?! You want to experience that live? Simply sign up for next years` race. 😎
