After a little bit of snow over the weekend and running the trail on Sunday, January 31, with a 6-dog team and 4-dog team, the Rosebud Run race trail is deemed to be ready for the races. The trail will be hard and fast and it is recommended that mushers come with sleds equipped with both a drag mat and brake. There will be some slight alterations in the trail to avoid difficult sections and these alterations will be explained in the Mushers' Meeting on Friday night.

Although a week later than originally planned, and still subject to continuing cold weather over the coming week, the Rosebud Run Sleddog Classic with be held on February 6 & 7.

If you've never see Alaskan huskies in a race to the finish, you're in for a treat! Besides huskies, you'll see teams of malamutes and crossbred dogs competing in one of the fastest winter tracks in North America.

One of the greatest features of the Rosebud Run Sleddog Classic is that there are many vantage points along the race trails. But if it's the "sound" of the Rosebud Run that thrills you, the start/finish line is where you want to be.

Check out the souvenir booth in the concession tent, free parking, and plan to visit with the mushers at the Rosebud Run Meal & Mixer.

On January 2, 2010 we introduced the 1st edition of Rosebud Run Mush Rush. This was a one-day, 2-heat, 2-Class just-for-fun dog-mushing event. Race information and registration was available on our Mush Rush page.

Major changes in the race trail route have been made for the 2010 season. The entire race trail has now been set south of Highway 582. With the loss of over 2 feet of snow to the never-ending Chinook that started on January 7, all snow has disappeared from the north side of Highway 582. With the consent of Gold Sponsor For Trees Company, the 6-mile trail has now been re-routed through the For Trees tree farm. See The Race Trail for more information.
