Robert Walter Sørlie, commonly "Sorlie" in English, is a two-time champion Norwegian dog musher and dog sled racer from Hurdal.
Career
Since he was in the lead for most of the route he picked up many of the "lesser" trophies for being first to various checkpoints along the way. He and his dogs ran against a very competitive field, including five other previous winners of the, and he finished only 34 minutes ahead of second place. Bjørnar Andersen finished in fourth place, while Kjetil Backen did not mush, but instead acted as team tactician.
The race this year followed a more traditional route.
