Here you can find important information about your participation. Most of this information is already available on our website www.femundlopet.no, including program, description of the track, veterinary information, rules etc. It is your responsibility to make yourself acquainted with the rules and regulations as well as any other relevant information. Welcome to Røros!
The winner of the best combined results for the Femund Race 2018 and 2019 will be the lucky winner of a Polaris Sportsman 570 4×4. The prize is a result of our longstanding cooperation with Tynset Bil & MC AS.
The Femund Race takes a step into the future. Last year, all of Norway enjoyed watching the impressive Femund race through the TV2 effort. The Femund Race has no intention to take a step back, and has decided to fill the void after the TV broadcast themselves.
The result system K2 and GPS tracker will still be open as before.
Femund Inside will give you access to live reports from start to finish, in addition to GPS-tracking, our newly developed result system, video interviews, and continuous updates from our web. The web team consists of Sjur Åsgård, Marit Beate Kasin, Christine Karijord, Thomas Werner, Morten Haugseggen and Eirik Bækken.
Femund Inside is a free service and for the time being, most of the material is in Norwegian only. We encourage contestants to recommend Femund Inside.

With reference to chapter 3.7 in our regulations, the event organiser can make the participants carry advertising on their clothing or sled.
The county of Hedmark has made a substantial financial contribution to the Femund Race this year. The profiling agreement states their right to profiling on the participants’ sled. Appetitt by Felleskjøpet Agri has also bought advertisement space on the sleds. Two number plates will be handed out at registration and should be tied to each side of the sled.
We repeat the success from 2018 and invite all participants, volunteers and others to a memorable opening ceremony of the Femund Race and Norwegian Championship 2019 in the church of Røros Thursday 31th January at 6.30 pm. Free entrance.

All Norwegian participants must have a valid accident- and liability insurance to start the race. If you have a valid Norwegian start license, this will pass as insurance.
