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 be exciting to see if her team can keep the same fast pace on the long, last stretch, considering that up to 20 cm snow has fallen over Jämtland and over the trail during the day.
