Wilderness Sled Dog Race in Maine’s 100 Mile Wilderness

Description

On the first weekend of February every year, the Wilderness Sled Dog Race hosts a 60-mile and 35-mile race, as well as a 4-mile sprint race with teams of three to four dogs and a skijoring circuit with one dog. (If you have not seen skijoring yet…you’re missing out.) One of only two long distance races in New England, the race draws mushers from all over the Northeast and Canada to compete for prize money and bragging rights. It’s spectator friendly, with activities for kids led by the AMC education team, viewpoints for watching the race, and of course, a lively scene at the start and finish line.
