Colorado Mountain Mushers is proud to resurrect the historic Dillon Reservoir Dog Sled Race on Saturday, February 25th for its 1st year back on the ice in over 20 years. Our family friendly race will use the Winter Multi-use Track at the Dillon Marina. Race classes include, but are not limited to 6-dog, 4-dog and 2-dog sled open and beginner, Junior sled, kid sled, bikejor, skijor and canicross.
In the 70s, Rocky Mountain Sled Dog Club, Colorado Mountain Mushers’ sister club, was responsible for having over 100 teams on the ice. We encourage new participants! Dillon is a central location to appeal to urban and mountain dwelling teams. 1-dog teams are a great place to start. We are not breed, size or weight specific. If your dog has a desire to pull and run, this is the place for you. Spectators are welcome! Please consider leaving dogs not participating at home. Keep all dogs on a leash and discourage dog introductions on race day to ensure a safe and fun race for all.
A dual track has been put in this year to accommodate participants and the public lake user activity. Equipment checks will be required by the Race Marshal. Please contact the club if you have any questions about preparation and gear. Race check-in begins at 7am, driver’s meeting is at 8:45am and race begins at 9:00am.
Registration will open on Feb. 5, 2023.
