I have been mushing since 2014 have competed in most of the races in the Midwest. Now days it is less about the racing and more about spending time with the dogs and friends. With that I would like to tank Alex and Dave for inviting me up to there kennel to help and enjoy their dogs. I am looking forward to being part of this years race, enjoying the great trail, and all the people that make this event happen. Thank You.

Thank you to our Beargrease sponsor:

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO START RUNNING SLED DOGS AND HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU STARTED?

Friends.

The “goodest” dogs
Need your help

What a sled dog looks forward to most after a long day of racing is a nice bed of straw! But guess what happened at last year’s race? Someone stole all our straw right before the race start! Thankfully, great fans like you helped us out during the final hour to provide this vital supply for our amazing dogs.

These dogs simply are the best – and we want to be able to continue treating them that way! Donations from fans like you make that possible. Would you find it in your heart to help us out? No amount is too small in sled dog world!
