A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Northern Pines
Sled Dog Race Champions
To all the incredible mushers who have competed in the Northern Pines Sled Dog Race from 2019 through 2025—thank you!
Your dedication to this sport, your unwavering commitment to your dogs, and your willingness to travel hundreds of miles—often through harsh winter storms—have made this race what it is today. Your participation, financial support, and true sportsmanship have not only sustained our event but have also strengthened the mushing community.
Beyond competition, many of you have generously shared your knowledge and experience, mentoring the next generation of mushers and inspiring junior racers to follow in your tracks. Your willingness to teach and encourage ensures the future of this incredible sport.
The Northern Pines Sled Dog Race exists because of you—your passion, perseverance, and love for the trail. From all of us in Iron River, Wisconsin, we extend our deepest gratitude. We look forward to seeing you on the trail for years to come!
Thank you for being the heart of this race.
With appreciation,
The Northern Pines Sled Dog Race Team
