Dog Powered Sports Association of the Yukon

Hello Dog Lovers,

Are you still in the mood?
Our next event is coming soon. Thank you for sponsoring this race, Dean and Cadence Cycle!!

CADENCE CYCLE Twister Race & GEAR SWAP – Sunday, January 28th, 2018

SPECIAL!! Gear Swap –  Everyone has dog-related gear, we don’t need anymore and stuff we are looking for. So bring it to the event, bring a table or display it on your truck, all rather informal! Trade it or sell it!!!

Where: Lorne Mt trails, registration and start in the big parking lot behind the Mt Lorne Community Hall

Most likely we will use the 10-mile loop on the Mary Lake trail this time to keep it interesting. For our Recreational class, we will find a shorter version.

Categories:
10 miles:  6-8 dogs Sleds, 2-4 dogs Skijoring
Recreational 5 km: 2-4 dogs Sled, 1-2 dogs Skijoring, Fat Bikes, Kick sleds, Runners etc welcome!
Kids Dash – free and just for fun!! DPSAY will help with a dog and a sled, if you don’t have any. CHILDREN MUST WEAR A HELMET!!

About the Categories:
The longer distance (10 miles) category is the competitive race, where timing and placing applies. This category is recommended for experienced mushers/skiers and experienced dogs.

The shorter distance (3-5 miles) is the RECREATIONAL category. We will focus on a non-competitive approach. The focus is on trying a new sport with your dog (any breed!!), practicing, meeting new dog lovers and having fun without worrying about competitive dogs and mushers/skiers. (We keep track of times for your personal interest.)

This is NEW: REGISTER at 12:00 pm, when you participate in the Recreational Class and Kids Dash.

Of course recreational participants are always welcome to come out earlier to socialize, watch, volunteer and cheer!!!
