Practice for competition, safe and sound! We start out the day with a seminar briefing on what is expected from you when you attend an actual competition. The walkthrough takes you all the way from signing up, what administration will be expected from you, the meaning of sportsmanship within sleddog racing, sleddog welfare and of course what is expected from you out there; in the trail.
Splitting our group in two, we take turns racing and maintaining the basic functions within a race – you will get a behind-the-scenes experience to strengthen your new knowledges and to understand the structure of a sleddog race.
Attending the 1- or 2-dog class (sled or skis) you will start out, run and finish in an authentic race kind of way. The trail is a marked 5 km loop.
After the summarising meet-up, we invite you to stay for a casual hangout at the camp fire!
