Thank you... to our mushers, volunteers, sponsors, and the many people who turned out to watch the WolfTrack Classic Sled Dog Race last Sunday. The race is so much more than just an event; it provides a sense of connection to our area's history and heritage.

Watching the teams leave the race start, and then the groups gather in the trailhead building afterwards, it felt like the trailhead was officially christened.

Thank you for making this an amazing event, and to all who contributed. We look forward to seeing everyone next year.

We are excited to have the following groups assisting with the WolfTrack Classic Sled Dog Race this year. Minnesota North - Vermilion Campus Law Enforcement and Sled Dog Class are helping with parking, road crossing, and as handlers. Team Rubicon is helping at road crossings. The Prospector Loop and Babbitt ATV Clubs are providing ATVs with drivers to shuttle teams to the start line. The Ely Igloo Club is helping with grooming the start chute.

It takes an army of volunteers to make the race happen. Thank you to everyone for all the support.
