There were 22 participants (11 in each class) from 8 different countries. The trail was 39 km long, mostly in the forest. The trail was quite technical. The driving skills of the mushers were required in many areas. The Race Marshal limited the number of dogs to 10 due to the snow conditions (very little snow in some parts). A few drivers fell on the trail, but none were very seriously injured. All dogs raced without any incident. The speed of the teams (around 24 km/h on the total average for the best ones) shows the quality of the training of all these dogs.
