Mush Rush
Rosebud Run Mush Rush
3rd Annual Rosebud Run
Mush Rush
Postponed to
February 11, 2012
A just-for-fun dog-mushing event
Postponed to February 11, 2012

The 2010 and 2011 editions of Mush Rush were great successes. The 3rd Annual Rosebud Run Mush Rush will take place on the Rosebud Run Sleddog Classic race trail and is intended to extend the use of our trail, generate interest in dog-powered sports and just have some wintry fun. Mush Rush is held on first Saturday of January starting at 9:00 am. Mush Rush will be a two-heat single-day event. In the morning participants will race either our 2-mile or 4-mile trail and their time will be recorded. During the lunch break participants will guess at what their time will be in the second heat, the afternoon heat. The person who guesses closest to their time in the second heat wins the race. The race is open to dog sleds, skijoring, kicksleds and pulka. It should be a blast. Lunch will be available on-site (lunch donations are appreciated) and simple prizes will be awarded.

Rules for the race will follow the Rosebud Run Race Rules. There will be only three classes, the 2-mile Open Class, the 4-Mile Skijoring Class and the 4-mile Sledding Class. Every participant will be competing with every other participant within their individual class. Race order in the first heat will be determined by the number of dogs in the team, the teams comprised of the most dogs will be highest in the race order. All dogs must be leashed or tethered to the registered participant's vehicle at all times except when their turn in the race order is up. At no time is any dog to be off a leash, tether or harness. All competing sleds must be equipped with a brush bow, dog bag, brake and snow hook.

There will be a $20.00 registration fee per entry to offset the cost of Society projects and trail improvements (see our Projects page). Otherwise this race is free including lunch although we will graciously accept lunch donations. There is no admission charge for spectators. Donation containers will be set at various locations around the race site (donations will be graciously accepted).
