We would love to welcome everyone to join us for two beautiful days on Lake Chocorua, as we gather once again for the oldest continues sled dog race in the Northeast. Photo opportunities abound, as the many sled dog teams and drivers prepare to race over the historic trails in scenic Tamworth, NH. Almost sixty teams entered into this race last season and it is anticipated to attract even more this year. This is our first race on snow for the season.

Being quoted by many mushers alike as a “Sprint mushers dream”. Fast, straight, long, and well groomed. Hill Village trail at Profile Falls in Hill, NH offers even the most particular mushers what they are looking for. Lakes Region Sled Dog Club, the same RGO that hosts the Laconia World Championship Sled Dog Derby, will be this years sponsor. Hill is open all week long and is a grand place to train. Race at Hill, train all week long and be the most prepared driver for the Laconia Sled Dog Championship.

Next, you will be greeted with open arms to the NY State Championship Sprint Race in Inlet, NY. Spectators flock from near and far to watch as the dog teams burn down the trail for that seven thousand dollar purse. New England Sled Dog Club’s long time member and friend, John Samburgh, has taken the time to redesign an exquisite new trail system. After the first snowfall, all trails will be professionally groomed. Registration will be held Friday night at the Woods Inn and they will be welcoming all mushers Saturday night to a delectable dinner for a nominal fee.

Voted one of the top ten things to do in Vermont, you can’t miss out on this race. The Burke Mountain Sled Dog Dash benefits the Wafer Family Children’s Foundation, Making it a unique event to attend. Last year alone twenty five thousand dollars was raised and went towards the local children in East Burke. If a charity does not draw your attention to this race perhaps the eight thousand dollar purse will. In addition to the ten thousand dollar purse the first and second place winners in each professional class will receive day money!
