Tobacco Trail 2020 cancelled.

It is a tough blow for us in the competition organization to have to announce that the Tobacco Trail 2020, long and medium distance, has been canceled due to the spread of the corona virus. The Swedish Sports Dog Association announced tonight that all racing activities will be suspended until further notice. This is to prevent further spread of the corona virus.

Finnmarkslöpet has chosen to cancel FL1200 and we think that is the wisest decision since we have some teams and crew that has been to Finnmarkslöpet.

The competition organization will announce solutions and alternatives to repay starting fees.

We regret the extra hassle this entails for all participants and hope that everyone is motivated to return next year.

We would like to thank everyone who worked for the new Tobacco Trail concept, especially our partners in Lannavaara, our sponsors and officials who have done a fantastic job and all the support we received for this year's competition. We warmly welcome you back next year.
