Hendrik Stachnau und seine Malamutes

Den tyske kjøreren Hendrik Stachnau med sitt renrasede malamutespann har holdt 8,6 km/t fra Varangerbotn og forlatt Neiden I med kurs for Kirkenes.

Finnmarkslopet.no has been in contact with handler Lars and understand that the situation will be assesed upon arrival in Kirkenes. Musher and dogs are in great shape and plan to arrive in Alta on Sunday. However, with 630km left in the race and the speed the team is going at, it may be difficult to get to Alta before Monday. The banquet is not the goal and Hendrik Stachnau himself said that to finish is the most rewarding nature experience.
