COPPER DOG 150 - DOG SLED RACE

The Copper Country is going to the dogs!
Calling all dogs to the 1st Annual CopperDog 150 Sled Dog challenge! Join us March 12-14, 2010 on the snow covered streets of historic Calumet, MI and experience one of sled dog racing's few downtown starts. Watch the anticipation build on Friday evening as teams of canine athletes and their drivers approach the chute bouncing and banging to launch, then tearing off into the night to chase and be pursued.
Michigan's Copper Country, located in the northernmost part of the Western Upper Peninsula, is the ideal location for winter fun and excitement this year. Technically an island, the peninsula enjoys heavy lake effect snow on trails as rich in natural beauty as they are in history. Spectators will enjoy following the dog teams as they traverse 150 miles of beautiful and scenic Copper Country woodlands. The unique combined stage/checkpoint format allows many opportunities for spectators to cheer on the teams as they pass through crossings, villages, and checkpoints from Calumet to Gay to Copper Harbor and back again.




Make this winter one to remember! Plan on running with the dogs this coming March, 2010, at the CopperDog 150 in Calumet, Michigan.
