We recommend you to read through the information below, as well as each participant’s obligate to familiarize yourself with the NHFs rules and the race rules.
SIGNUP/REGISTRATION STARTS AUGUST 15th
Finnmarksløpet is a challenging long-distance race. It is a race that demands a lot from you and your dog team. To be able to start, you, equipment and dog team must meet the requirements set out in the regulations. This means that it is a prerequisite that you start with dogs that are sufficiently prepared, conditioned and otherwise suitable to be able to compete under the prevailing conditions, and within the time frames that have been set.
General information
The starting fee covers the service at all stations, compulsory pre race check carried out by our race veterinarians in Alta before race starts, as well as participation in the opening and closing events according to the race program.
Entrants from Norway must show valid starting license for NHF at registration before the race. You have to buy this online on Norges hundekjørerforbund/Min idrett before the race. In races that have World Championship status, the participant must have paid the annual license and have a DID-number (Driver Identification Number).
When participating in IFSS-World Championships, participants are required to have a DID-number. The Norwegian Sled Dog Association buys the DID license on behalf of Norwegian athletes. Norwegian participants get a DID license by paying an extra NOK 600 when they pay the regular season license. For participation in Finnmarksløpet IFSS World Championship 2027, the DID must be paid no later than December 1st.
Entrants who dosen‘t sort under a Norwegian dog sled club must provide a license and DID-number from their home country and show it at the registration office before race start. Alternative is to have an insurance that applies to the race as well as DID-number. A DID number must be requested by a Voting National Member or Provisional Member of IFSS. Individuals cannot apply for a DID number directly from IFSS. More information concerning DID number can be found from IFSS website https://sleddogsport.net/eng/65. NOTE! A valid DID number is a signal to IFSS and RGO that the DID holder is entitled to represent his/her Member Federation in the event.
