CopperDog 25 Waiting List

Saturday, November 6, 2021

The CopperDog 25 race is now full. There is a possibility of cancellations and the race planning committee is empowered to adjust the number of entries so we encourage you to add your name to the waiting list by sending an email to registration@copperdog150.com with the musher name and contact details (email and telephone number).

Saturday, November 6, 2021

To our mushers who registered on Saturday November 6th: You should by now have received both your confirmation email and your receipt emails from notifications@copperdog150.com. Please check your spam folders as it is possible the emails ended up there. For those who still need to register, our automated registration system is back and operational.

The problem was two fold. An "http" needed to be "https" and the notification button in PayPal got turned off (Hey! who turned off the lights!).All better now.
