Harald Tunheim (54) from Alta is starting his 20th Finnmarksløp this year. He has previously won FL-1000 four times. It is a short Tunheim stating his goal. He is aiming for the top spot. Sources confirm that Tunheim has a strong dog team and that he himself is well prepared for the tribulations that lie ahead. The last week however, Tunheim has been ill with bronchitis. He has gotten treatment and his health is improving. –Now things can only get better, says Harald before tending to his dogs. From this point forward his focus is on the dogs, weather, trail, competitors and all the challenges that he will face.
