Congratulations Active Troms\u00f8!<\/p>\n

\u00a9 Active Troms\u00f8<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our neighbour and\u00a0partner Tore Albrigtsen\u00a0(Active Troms\u00f8<\/a>)\u00a0just took part in the\u00a0two longest sled dog races in the world: the Yukon Quest<\/a> (1000 miles from Fairbanks, Alaska,\u00a0to Whitehorse, Yukon) and the Iditarod<\/a>\u00a0(1000 miles from Anchorage to Nome in\u00a0Alaska).<\/p>\n

Tore\u00a0and his well-trained dogs\u00a0took 11 days, 19 hours and 2 minutes to finish the Yukon Quest and, after only\u00a0a few weeks of rest in between, the team needed 10 days, 11 hours and 5 minutes to cross the Iditarod finish line.<\/p>\n

The Norwegian man, who recently turned 49 and\u00a0is obviously\u00a0far from being\u00a0a beginner, had to face harsh weather conditions during his quite long period in North America. These races are indeed particularly known for their high level of difficulty.<\/p>\n

We therefore would like to congratulate him, as well as\u00a0his dogs and colleagues, for this truly\u00a0inspirational adventure in the Arctic.<\/p>\n

Bra jobba!<\/p>\n
