The Amundsen Race is shaped by the places it moves through — and Strömsunds municipality is very much part of that story.

With its open landscapes, real winter, and strong outdoor culture, Strömsund offers exactly the kind of environment this race is built for. It’s a place that deserves attention not only during race days, but as a winter destination in its own right.

We hope the race can help bring more people to the area, create value for local businesses, and show what’s possible here when winter is embraced rather than avoided.

We believe the best partnerships grow over time, eye to eye, with shared goals and benefits on both sides. We’re grateful for the support we have and look forward to developing this collaboration further — for the race, the community and everyone involved.
