Given this week’s warm weather and rain, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail Race. The trail will be available on Saturday and Sunday for sled/skijor teams of up to four dogs for a fun run/demo. The town has been very supportive of the race, we’d love to be able to show them our sport!

Currently, the trail looks very good. The turnarounds are all wider and larger than last year’s. We are watching the forecast carefully with regard to the projected snow fall.

The Jericho race will not be held this year. We hope to make this race happen next season.

We are watching the snow situation for the Lamoille Rail Trail and Tamworth races.

We are currently planning on holding sled races on the following weekends. Information to follow later for each race.

Jan 19-20, Morrisville, VT
Jan 26-27, Tamworth, NH
Feb 9-10 Jericho, NH

We are not holding a race at Westbrook this year.

Keep your fingers crossed for snow!
