I-Kid-Arod Race Route
This race is for up and coming world champions! Children between ages 5-12 race with one dog down the race course finish line for a short distance on both Saturday and Sunday. Many of our pro racers started by entering this race. This is a real crowd pleaser and very exciting for the young mushers.
We encourage mushers to race with STYLE! Dress up yourself, your sled, and your dog in costume. This is all about having fun and, of course, getting the best photo-ops.
Each musher receives a medal for participating in this race. The young people do not have to be from a dog racing family but can be anyone with a dog and sled. If your kiddo needs support or help with equipment please reach out to us so we can assist !
We will have extra prizes for our top 3 teams.
