It goes incredibly fast in the race now. Our local statistics have compared the incredibly fast race times from this year, with the 2007 and 2006 race times. According to this statistic this was the fastest return-time from the last to years, 65 hours. If we compare these numbers to the time that Roger Dahl left Kirkenes, we could wait for him to arrive in Alta before midnight between Thursday and Friday. This would be a record-time.
Gunnar Nilssen's timetable is the following:
