Changes for 2008 : The derby will be held at the Delta Pinestone Resort again, with some modifications. Several of the sharp turns that people were concerned about last year have been straightened out. The trail is being groomed now to increase our odds of an excellent hard packed base. The youth race will be on Saturday & Sunday. The 4 dog trail has been extended some to get 4.1 miles. The 6 dog will be a 6 mile course and the 8 dog will run the 6 mile course as well.

We are now accepting registration for all races.

Both Purebred & Open Classes, Kid & Mutt and Youth Race. IFSS Sanctioned, applied for ISDRA sanctioning, part of OFSS Triple Crown Race Series, and a qualifier for the Canadian National Sled Dog Team.
