Events that took place in prior races included 1 and 2-dog Skijoring, 2-dog junior, 4 & 6 dog sprint as well as 8 & 12-dog distance classes. Our sprint classes raced 1.5 - 18 miles on the nordic trails at and around Dog Creek Lodge and the distance classes raced on the Stillwater State Forest north of the Lodge in the Whitefish Mountain Range.
Sponsors brought prizes and cash to the mushers who raced with their teams and Dog Creek Lodge catered to race audiences with breakfast and lunch at the ski shop and cafe.
