Kearney Dog Sled Races Sponsors
Without the many generous and dedicated sponsors the Kearney Dog Sled Races couldn't happen. Each sponsor dedicates funds or resources to help make the Kearney Dog Sled Races the largest dog sledding event in Ontario. As a small thank you we provide many of our sponsors with their own page here on the Kearney Dog Sled Races website, so please take a moment to look at their page for more details about their local business and the race they sponsor. We have enjoyed a great relationship with local businesses that have been so generous as to sponsor our event, and we very much appreciate each and every one of them. Our sponsors are vital to our event, and Race Weekend brings a much-needed boost to the local economy in the middle of winter. Please consider becoming a sponsor for the future of the Kearney Dog Sled Races. More information is available on this website, or by contacting info@kearneydogsledraces.ca
