Marit Beate Kasin
Marit Beate Kasin is an author, journalist, dog musher, and dog trainer. She has a background as a political journalist with over 16 years of experience, and in recent years has specialised in nature and environmental journalism.
As an author, she has published several books. Vinterdans (2016) depicts her venture into long-distance dog sledding. Best sammen (2018), in which Kasin was the ghostwriter for NRK profile Maren Teien Rørvik in the series Bølle til bestevenn, is about dog training. Kasin's latest book, Naturparadokset (2024), was nominated for the Brage Prize and explores the gap between our good intentions for nature and actual land use.
Marit Beate has completed the 1200 km long Finnmarksløpet seven times and her best results are a Norwegian Championship gold medal in long-distance dog sledding in 2016, and overall victory in the Finnmarksløpet in 2017. She is particularly known for good animal welfare and her close bond with the dogs. Together with her spouse, Carla Susana, they run the Vinterdans kennel. They have chosen a life close to nature, with the dogs as faithful companions and the mountains as their home.
«We have used Vom og Hundemat since we started dog sledding in 2008. VOM is rich in protein and fat – all from animal raw materials. It gives our dogs natural energy, good health and well-being, both in everyday life and on the longest races.»
