Attention snowmobilers! It's that time of year again.
Can Am Sled Dog races start this Saturday, March 5, 2022 in the Upper St. John Valley.
Please keep an eye out on the trails the weekend of March 5-8 for dog sleds!
The area covered by this race is Fort Kent to Allagash and also to Portage Lake. The trails, if I'm not mistaken, overlap in very few places, however, we also have had situations where mushers have gotten turned around (lost) and gone off trail, so it is good for folks to be vigilant even if they are not on the same trail.
For updates, you can check out the Can-Am Crown International Sled Dog Race FB page.
Any help in spreading the word is greatly appreciated.
And, if you are in the area that morning, antique snowmobiles will be on display in the vicinity of the start line. An antique snowmobile parade will follow the last musher to take off - at approximately 10:30/11am (tentatively - depends on how long it takes for all the mushers to take off).
