    When the winner crosses the finish line, all eyes are on the musher — but what often goes unnoticed is the crucial work of the handler. Behind every successful race stands a well-coordinated team, and the handler’s expertise can make the difference between triumph and defeat. With 20 years of shared racing experience, Petter and Angela have developed highly effective systems for preparation, race planning, and in-race communication. Gain exclusive insights into one of the most successful teams in the history of the Finnmarksløpet. In this online seminar, Angela Stone Karlsson, Petter’s manager and chief handler, shares valuable insider tips and practical strategies drawn from two decades at the highest level of the sport. 

    Angela will cover:
    • What you need to consider during preparations
    • How to be efficient at the checkpoint
    • How to ensure that you can take care of yourself
    • Why after the race is before the next one
    • Proper communication between musher and handler during the race
