Mushing Resources
New to the sport or new to the area? Our club members are happy to talk to you about mushing in our area and give you tips on how to get started with your dog.
Come watch a race to see what it's all about, or sign up with your dog! Beginners are always welcome! Not quite ready to race, but would like to learn more? Volunteering at one of our events is a great way to do that! Click here to learn more about how to volunteer at an upcoming race.
