I-Kid-Arod Race Route

This race is for up and coming world champions!  A young person races with one dog on main drag of our start 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.

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 ! This race is open to children between 6 and 12 years old and their dog.

We will have extra prizes for our top teams.
