John, you are a true tough one!
Well done and congrats!
Although I wasn't there for your finish, it was good to see you, Jan and Juancar today. All three of you made it! ❤️🙌⭐️

with - 🏁 503 Jon Knapp – FINISHER 🏁

Jon Knapp 🇬🇧 has crossed the finish line of the 500KM Bright Equipment Lapland Arctic Ultra, looking strong and clearly having enjoyed every step of the journey.

Much to the delight of the crew, Jon arrived at a very sensible hour of the day — a rare treat in this race! His smart race strategy saw him resting well along the way, wisely taking advantage of Polar Circle Cabin 2 before making his final push through Muggträsk and onto the finish line in Överkalix.

A fantastic effort from Jon — well-paced, well-managed, and well-deserved! Congratulations Jon — now it’s time to relax and reflect on an incredible achievement. 👏❄️

Congratulations Eva! Well done! ⭐️🙌

with - 🐾 Eva zu Beck — 500KM Finisher 🏁

Through grit, determination, and resilience, 502 Eva zu Beck 🇵🇱 has crossed the finish line of the 500KM Bright Equipment Lapland Arctic Ultra this evening at 16:44.

Eva faced her fair share of challenges on the trail — from snapped sled cables to sore shins, cold nights, and difficult moments along the way. Yet she kept moving forward, overcoming every hurdle to make it to the finish.

Eva first joined us last year in the 185KM race, racing with her dog, Vilk. Sadly, she had to pull out when Vilk was struggling after the first day. This year, Vilk stayed warm and safe at a doggie hotel — but in a wonderful moment of reunion, Eva arranged for Vilk to join her for the final stretch. Together, they crossed the finish line side by side. 🐶❄️

A huge congratulations to Eva — proof that persistence pays off. Well done! 👏🔥

with - 🏅 504 Juancar Gimeno – First to Finish! 🏅

After an incredible effort, Juancar Gimeno 🇪🇸 has crossed the finish line as the first athlete to complete the 500KM Bright Equipment Lapland Arctic Ultra!

Juancar looked strong throughout the final stretch, even managing to run much of the way — a truly impressive push after such a gruelling distance. His determination paid off in the best way possible, as he was met by his family, who had secretly travelled to surprise him at the finish line!

A fantastic performance and a race brilliantly run — congratulations, Juancar! 👏

We’ll be sharing more images from his incredible journey later today, so stay tuned.

with - 🏁 509 Jan Rohrberg – 500KM Finisher! 🏁

Jan Rohrberg 🇩🇪 has just crossed the finish line of the 500KM Bright Equipment Lapland Arctic Ultra, second finisher overall, and what a race he’s had!

Jan has been an incredible athlete throughout — calm, considered, and consistent from start to finish. His approach to the race has been nothing short of textbook: on point with his self-admin, precise with his kit, well-prepared, and meticulously organised.

On the trail, Jan maintained a steady, strong pace, never faltering in his composed and determined style. Watching him race this year has been a real pleasure, and we hope to see him return in the future — once he’s had a well-deserved sleep, shower, and some dinner, of course!

Congratulations, Jan! 👏

Started the day early in Jockfall, made some transfers to Luleå, got the chance to get the doggies out for a quick round, and hopefully we'll end this day in the archipelago with some northern lights. A full, but good, day!

Athletes who will participate in the TROLLKRAFT training course have started arriving in Jockfall Fishing & Activities. At the same time we have been busy checking the ice and improving small sections of trail on Laxforsberget.

It's been a winter with relatively little snow in and around Överkalix but there is enough to cover the trails. With a bit of luck, temperature changes in the next few days will also mean that the trail gets a chance to settle well. The big question is of course what the temperatures will do during the race and how much fresh snow we may get ...

In any case, it's great to be back in Jockfall, to work with our great hosts, Robin, Ann-Sofi, Hans & team and to prepare for our 4th edition of the Bright Equipment Lapland Arctic Ultra!
