The full story is on its way

2026 Completed
Lapland Arctic Ultra
A fully self-supported winter race across Arctic Lapland, pulling everything I needed in a sled. Advertised as 500km, it came out at 511km, and I felt every one of the extra eleven. I crossed the line on 11 March 2026 after 234 hours 29 minutes.
