🐾 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 Edmond 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. 😎
