Marlene Hällström is a sprint and mid-distance musher from Sweden. She has been racing with Siberian huskies since 2005. In Røros 2025 her kennel and team Yabasta are represented by handlers Ellen, Esmee and Pernilla along with the dogs Bolt, Lili, Una, Sniper, Sam, Bullet, Nina and Ruby.
Marlene and her dogs won the IFSS World Championships in mid-distance 2022. The two past years they have done longer races such as Femundløpet 200, Amundsen Race 180 and Beaver Trap Trail 170. This year the kennel has 24 dogs in training due to a shift of generations and therefore runs mainly sprint.
