4 Dog Sprint Race Route
Similar to the 6 Dog Sprint, the 4 Dog Sprint utilizes a team of 4 Dogs that must be used on both days and race times from both days are added together to determine the winning teams. Many owners of sprinting teams compete in both 6 Dog and 4 Dog races, with different teams and sometimes different mushers to gain additional experience.
Sprinters can complete these shorter courses so fast that we often see the first several teams coming back in before all of their competitors have had a chance to even start. These make for very exciting races for spectators and volunteers alike.

Route Details
The race begins at Park Street just south of the dog yard at the Legion. Teams will run down Park Street and bank left down Patton Road into the woods beyond. There was extensive trail work in fall 2023 to widen some of the challenging turns in the first mile of the trail. The course runs through a variety of terrain. There is winding forested areas which will be technical but a fun ride. There are large sections of fields with open views of the Almaguin Highlands. There are no main snowmobile trails or road crossings on this trail. Ample trail help will be stationed throughout the trail for assistance if required.
