Best Dog Care Award is given out by the Finnmark Race vets. They observe and examine dogs at all checkpoints throughout the race, and oversee all dogs and mushers from start to finish. On this basis, they nominate candidates and select one musher who will be given this award.

This year, Vollan stood out among many good mushers. Congratulations!
