The "smaller" version of Finnmarkslopet (500m) ended with two Germans in the TOP 10 of the result list:
Bernd Helmich (3) and
Ben Voigt (10), the only foreign mushers among Norwegians - great performance.

EowynThe "bigger" version of Finnnmarkslopet (1000km) is still going on, and two Germans are still in the race.
Bernhard Schuchert is placed eighth for the moment, which is a remarkable position for the IT-Manager of a worldwide agricultural engine company & and of course for his lead dog bitch
Eowyn (photo) and their dog team.
Another German is following the Finnmarkslopet - teams with a "Diesel" - version of a sled dog team:
Hendrick Stachnau is placed at the very end of the result list with his Malamute/Grönland Dog - team. Nevertheless it would be a big success for him and his dogs to finish Finnmarkslopet. We cross our fingers!
Hendrik's dream is to participate once at Yukon Quest with his "Diesel" - Dogs ...
Unfortunately
Wolfram Schumacher had to scratch.
