Spectator information
Admission
Races are free for spectators, the start and finish are great places to watch all the action and are located between Pinestone Resort and County Road #21. Please note for everyone's safety no parking along County Road #21 is allowed.
We love dogs but PLEASE LEAVE PET DOGS AT HOME!! They distract the racing dogs.
Trail
Mushers and Skijorer's will run the same 3.4 mile trail with the exception of the 6 & 8 dog teams that will run the longer 5.8 mile trail. The 2 dog and youth race will run a 1.8 mile course (mileage to be posted Wednesday). The crowd favourite Kid & Mutt race will take place at the starting line on Saturday afternoon.
Several fabulous locations are around the Pinestone Resort property that allows both spectators and photographers wonderful views of the teams in full stride while out on the trail. The little camera icons on the map to the left indicate great viewing areas.
PLEASE NOTE - PHOTOGRAPHERS MUST STAY OFF THE RACE TRAIL AT ALL TIMES!!
