Race Office
The skiers relax at the computers in Race Office at Knud Rasmussen’s Folk High School. At Race Office it seems that the phones never stop ringing, that new people keep walking through the door, and that the coffee is always there on the thermo as if materialized from out of the blue. At Race Office the volunteers do everything to take care of the skiers in the hectic days before take-off.



Mikkel from Sisimiut Tourist Office sometimes needs to retire from the Race Office to go next door to speak to people in more quite surroundings.

Shooting the Photographers
3 volunteers have signed up as photographers. On snowmobiles they will be cruising around the tracks to take pictures of all the skiers coming up the hills and rushing down the hills, and of the camp life. As always the best pictures will be shown on a big screen at the finishing party on Monday.

Young volunteers
What makes two 19-year-old women decide to become volunteers and help out at Arctic Circle Race?
Navarana Lennert and Paneeraq Kreutzmann are 2nd years students at Technical High School in Sisimiut and are naturally pretty busy being fulltime students. Yet they are eager to spend their spare time on helping the skiers on the tracks. Their job is to guard the steep hills and the places where the skiing tracks cross the snowmobile tracks to make sure, that the skiers can cross safely. 

“It only happens once a year, so I wanted to grab the chance right now,” Navarana explains. Paneeraq agrees and adds that she has followed ACR in the media through the last 9 years, and now she really wanted to participate herself.
Thank you to Navarana, Paneeraq and all the other volunteers at Arctic Circle Race!
