Profile Information: Marlene loves speed and run sprint line siberian huskies on distances up to 80 km. Her team won the World Championships in mid-distance last year and aims to run more stage race-like in the future. Marlene studies ethology with a focus on working dogs and dogs living in packs. Her bachelor thesis targeted pain behaviours in long distance sled dogs.
