Whoop, whoop, and that's the end of the race above the Arctic Circle, 250 kilometers (155 miles) across Europe's last wilderness -- RacingThePlanet: Lapland 2022. Congratulations to all who took part and especially those who won an award. Of course, nothing would have been possible without the AMAZING volunteers, camp team, drivers, course team, medical teams, media teams, management team and all the locals who offered their support. A big THANK YOU to the country of Finland for being the most amazing host, and Riitta Hanninen of Finland who organised every detail. We LOVE you all.
