Not Just Another Weekend Sled Dog Race

The CopperDog 150 is not just another weekend sled dog race.  Our geographic position and the late season run puts the CopperDog in a class of it's own.  Like other races of this caliber, every effort is being made to make this inaugural running of the dogs an extremely competitive and professionally executed event.

Heavy lake effect snow and the resulting extended winter season uniquely qualify the Copper Country as the location to race in the month of March.  Our combined checkpoint/stage racing format is designed to invite and challenge racers from all of the disciplines of the sport.  Dog teams at their physical peak combined with the rugged terrain of the Keweenaw Peninsula provides the perfect opportunity for musher's to settle all scores.

From 8-dog speedsters to 12-dog endro-racers, all classes will find common ground in our 10-dog, multi-discipline, 150-mile trek.  Faster teams will enjoy the extended stage rests while endurance teams will have to kick it up a notch keep from getting left behind.  Not since the 'Tortoise and The Hare' has strategy been so important. 

Regardless of your teams strengths and style the CopperDog 150 will present unique opportunities, challenges, and excitement.  Come strut your stuff at the CopperDog 150 this March 12th - 14th, in Calumet Michigan.
