Time to bump this a bit.
Finnmarksløpet (FL-1200, the longest) starts this evening (norwegian time). Alphashe posted the map. It's quite familiar but there are some things different than for instance Iditarod.
There are two mandatory rests, one in 16 hours, must be taken after Kautokeino (first cp) and latest at Varangerbotn (ninth checkpoint), the start difference is added to this rest (just as Iditarod). Start and finish is both in Alta, it's 11 checkpoints.
The other mandatory rest is 10 hours which can be splitted between Levajok II and Karasjok, but at least 2(**) hours must be taken in Karasjok where it is also mandatory vet check (** I corrected this after Alphashe proofreading
)
http://www.finnmarkslopet.no/home-trail-description/On Jotka and Øvre Pasvik there are no handlers, on the other checkpoints the handlers are present, dropped dogs are handled by the handler teams. It's only the musher who are allowed to care for the dogs, the handlers are just allowed to bring bags to right area. The handlers can care for the musher, talking strategy, cooking, make sleeping arrangements, wake up++
Alphashe, please correct me if I said something wrong.
