If you read this article, it will be easier to follow the Finnmark Race 2022. The semi-old man on this picture is me, Trond Anton, and my job is a.o. to be the Head of Communications for the Finnmark Race (Finnmarksløpet). In this article, I try to help those of you who want to follow us on digital surfaces to succeed with just that.
On the front of our web pages, you will find very visible links to our most used services.
Table of results provides you with all the information you need about participants and will be continually updated throughout the race.
The GPS tracking shows contestants’ position on the map. This is usually updated every five miutes, however, in areas with poor connectivity that may not always be the case. We will also provide links to external media. Let met tell you a little bit about how to follow the Finnmark Race through Norwegian media.

iFinnmark will broadcast via web TV from the race. In fact, its streaming runs live 24/7. This year, the live stream is not behind a paywall, but rather open to all viewers and free for all.
Also a good tip, the QPAWS-app which can ble downloaded for free in App Store og Google Play. GPS-tracking, results, push messages and pictures/updates from the trail.
We will publish the most important news here, on our web site. If you want to see a whole lot more from the race, we highly recommend our Facebook page, our Instagram account and – new this year! – our TikTok.
The race has three classes. For more than one week, participants race and rest and race and rest. Perhaps it is difficult to keep track of where the mushers are and when they will arrive at the next checkpoint.
You will find the program here, on our web page.
