“We are waiting for a lot of snow!!!” … this is exactly what we said last year too!  And then it still happened …. We do not give up hope!

“Carbon Hill Race Day” & Cadence Cycle Twister
Sunday, January 13th, 2019
at the Lorne Mountain Community Centre on KM 1 of the Annie Lake Road.

“The Carbon Hill Race Day” will be part of our DPSAY Twister Race series again.

We will host 4 races at the event:

1. 30-MILES for skijorers and dog sleds (8-dogs max for sleds and 4-dogs max for skijorers)

2. 10-MILES for skijorers and dog sleds (8-dogs max for sleds and 4-dogs max for skijorers)

3. 6- MILES Recreation Class – (non competitive) open to multiple disciplines for participants of 12 years of age and older(ski, kick sled, fat bike etc – 2 dogs max)

4. 100 –yard Kids Dash open to children of any age. Parents must help/participate/supervise. (Small sleds and a dog can be provided or bring your own)

RACE COURSE:

The 30mile sled/skijor race will follow either the incredibly scenic Alligator Lake trail loop (app. 36 miles) or the traditional 30-mile Annie Lake loop.

Both trails have been used in the past and are equally appreciated by participants. Trail and snow conditions will determine which trail will be used on January 13^th.

The 6 and 10-mile races will be the same trails that have been used for many past Carbon Hill events.
