FL-1000 favourite Arnt Ola Skjerve from Rennebu sadly had to scratch from the race today. While his dogs were well, the musher himself struggled with ongoing illness, and at cp Neiden he decided to scratch from this year's Finnmarksløpet Race.

Finnish Juha Hokka, who pulled a stunt and went all the way to Kirkenes before taking his 16-hour mandatory rest, also scratched from the race today.
