Feminist race 2024
The Femund race is known as the world's largest and one of the toughest dog races. The drivers compete day and night through a harsh landscape where they can expect all kinds of weather. The race is a nerve-wracking spectator sport, and you can follow the drivers and dog teams both from the starting line in Røros, along the way at all checkpoints and via live streaming.
Here is everything you need to know about the race and not least an explanation of terms such as musher, handler, RNB and other words and expressions that enable you to speak like one in the game.
650 kilometers through eight municipalities
The dog sled race is one of the highlights of the year in Røros and in Østerdalen. In the days from 1 to 6 February, the region is filled with canine glam, barking dogs and daring women and men fighting through wild nature. The participants compete in several classes, where the longest route is 650 kilometers with up to 12 dogs.
The route goes through seven municipalities, Trysil, Os, Rendalen, Tolga, Engerdal, Tynset and Røros, and along the way the participants will visit seven checkpoints.

The race starts in the middle of the historic mountain town of Røros as an arena on 8 February and already the evening before you are welcome at the opening ceremony.
