@engcon_sweden has been with us through the years, supporting the Amundsen Sled Dog Race from start to finish. This year, we’re proud to have them back once again as one of our main sponsors, standing strong with us throughout the entire race. 💛

For 35 years, Engcon has been transforming the world of digging, but their impact goes far beyond that. They support many local associations and also help us make this incredible event possible every year, bringing people together and keeping the spirit of adventure and community alive here in Strömsund.

Thanks to their continued support, our local community grows richer in culture and involvement every single year, both from locals and mushers who travel from near and far to be part of something special.

Help us thank @engcon_group! Drop a comment, 💛 if you appreciate their support in making the race possible.

The dogs.
At the checkpoints, it is not just about rest - it is about love, trust and being there for each other. They are more than a team, they are family. And those moments of connection in between racing are what keep them going - listening to each other has more than once decided about a race strategy.

Here are our 4min full of memories in motion from the 13th Amundsen Race - that took place Feb 21 - Feb 23, 2025. 🐾🐺

You`ll see the stake-out, teams starting, Wilderness Checkpoint Ursvattnet, teams restings, dogs being eager to go. Teams finishing in Fjällsikten Tåsjöberget. The bond between the dogs and the mushers, the vets and volunteers working and all the little and bigger emotions in between.

Enjoy those 4 minutes and share your favorite moment from the race with us - we are looking so forward to read them as we all do have one, two, three or more favorite moments. 🐾🐺

We already have great plans for next year.....a way to remember AR2026 that has not been here before but until then let Amundsen Race and everything we stand for travel the world.

Your Amundsen Race Team

Our photographers and videographers are still working on the more than 10000 photos and videos they have captured throughout Amundsen Race 2025. 🐾🐺

Because of them we will be able to show you so many wonderful moments from our race until Amundsen Race 2026.

If you share their photos please give credit to them, because like all volunteers they have worked for free and it is only fair to show them the respect by telling your followers where the photo comes from. 🙏

We will create an online album with all photos later on and share that with you - for free.
