Dog Powered Sports Association of the Yukon

Sunday was a gorgeous day, which brought out many participants enjoying ideal temperatures and trail conditions.

Thank you again to Robert Siefke, Jean-Marc Champeval and Melissa Schenke for preparing the trails.

And thank you Mike Simon for timing once again!

We had a record turnout for our recreational class with dogs of all breeds, colours and sizes and their owners on skis, sleds and kick sleds.

In addition to our regular categories we saw 5 teams entering a 25 mile course, just as a treat! since we had such late start of the season! Since each team kind of ran the course “in their very own way” , we dropped the competition in the end, and called it a FUN RUN!!!

We also had three tiny mushers out; Aurora (4), Rylan (2) and Forest (2) “racing” their dogs and new homebuilt sled.

Thank you Yukon Brewing for sponsoring the event!

Thank you Takhini Hot Springs for sponsoring a soak for all participates and volunteers.

Thanks to our prize sponsors: Duffy’s Pets, Coast Mountain Sports and Yukon Quest.

Thank you everyone who came out and made it such fun day!
