Northern Pines
Sled Dog Kids FUN Mutt Run

This will be ...

... a single dog, timed, fun mutt race for your mini-musher. Open to kids 4-8 and 9-12 years of age using their very own furry friend to pull them down a 75 foot, straight, course. Dogs must be of reasonable size and healthy. An adult must accompany each child to help handle your dog. Sleds, harnesses, and a pool of dogs "may" be available to borrow by any child that wants to participate but doesn’t have their own dog. However, due to the overwhelming response and limited availability of dogs in our Mutt Run pool, we encourage participants to bring their own dog in order to insure every child has a chance to participate.
