Finnmarksløpet sled dog race - Mini documentary

Mushing is a sport that is pushing the musher, the dogs, and the equipment to the limit. The ultimate test. It is both mentally and physically demanding. Hours on the sled under extreme conditions are not for anyone, but it is so rewarding for those that can stand it.

1.068 kilometers. 14 dogs. 1 musher. 6-10 days under extreme conditions.
Get a sneak-peak behind the scenes in this mini-documentary made from Finnmarksløpet in 2017.
