2008 12th Place Up 200

Running this race turned out to be the biggest challenge as of yet for this group of dogs. We were hoping for a bit better finish in the placings, but welcome to sleddog racing. We are proud of the finishers and the ones that did not finish. We are looking forward to next year with possibly 11 of the 12 returning.
