Economic Impact and Sustainability

Amundsen Race contributes significantly to the economy in Strömsund municipality, supporting outdoor activities, winter tourism, recreation, and local businesses. Balancing this economic impact with environmental concerns is a key challenge together with our partner Strömsund municipality. To organizing a sustainable sled dog race, we primarily use local services and businesses, embracing animal welfare and responsible trail and checkpoint management, which can help ensure the long-term viability of the sport while minimizing its environmental footprint.

The future of Amundsen Race hinges on finding a balance between animal welfare, sustainable winter outdoor activities, economic growth and environmental protection. Increased environmental awareness, and effective regulations are therefor equally crucial.
