Jokkmokk – The Reindeer Race

Every year there is this race on the lake – and it is great fun to watch it. The reindeer are indeed not very tame, and they have to be handled rather like the wild creatures they are… But they seem to like this game – and the running!

Well…the last guy was really funny – and he most certainly enjoyed this game even more than the reindeer….No sledge, just his boots!

The reindeer are quite unstoppable as well, as you can see from the pictures. When they have finished the race…they will go on running!

And walking them home can be rather tricky too – even more if they are two…
