2019/20 Sled Dog Race Season

Summer is winding down, and before we know it it will be the fall training season. Mushers are no doubt counting the days to cooler temps and getting back to the dogs. The fireweed is in full bloom and tall, predicting an early fall and a deep snow winter (we'll see if that old wives tale holds true). With all of that in mind it's time to start paying attention to the 2019/20 Sled Dog Race season! Below are the dates and links to many of the races set. Most are Iditarod or Yukon Quest qualifiers, all celebrate one of the greatest winter sports.

2019 Sled Dog Race Season

With the Iditarod BBQ and Musher Sign Ups coming up in a matter of days (Saturday), it's time to start paying attention once again to the upcoming race season as organizers announce their event dates. I'll update as the dates are announced, and this is of course on the left hand side of my blog for all to see. Sorry I've been so quiet since Iditarod. It's been a long few months, but I'm working on getting back to blogging! I promise. I'll have a new post up this weekend about, you guessed it, Iditarod and the musher sign ups. Follow me on Twitter for live tweet action on Saturday.
