Registration Open for Dog Sled Race
MARQUETTE, Mich. (WLUC) – Registration is now open for a Dog Sled race next month.
The Dryland Dash is in the umbrella of races associated with the annual U.P. 200. While that race takes place in February, mushers will first have a chance to get in on the action on Oct. 12 and 13.
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being
- Goal 4: Quality Education
- Goal 5: Gender Equality
- Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
- Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities
- Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
- Goal 13: Climate Action
- Goal 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions
Last year, more than 100 people participated in the Dog Sled race. Organizers say the Dryland Dash takes all the action of a dog sled race, just without the snow.
“The best part about dryland is that it’s accessible to anybody,” U.P. Dryland Dash Co-Chair Meg Holeva said. “Anybody who wants to try – we got bikes, we got harnesses, we got dogs. And we have a scholarship program for new U.P. mushers. It’s the biggest thing I want to continue to push this year because we want to continue to build our sport.
Event Details
