Can I spectate at a sled dog rally?
5-4-3-2-1For the dog lover, visiting a sled dog rally can be a day of husky-heaven but to ensure you and the competitors get the most out of the racing, please bear in mind the following points: If you have to bring a pet dog to the rally, make sure he is secure on the lead AT ALL TIMES and keep him well clear of the trail when the teams are running. Our huskies are well trained but are not robots! Another dog at the side of the trail can be extremely distracting for the teams which may be racing past you at speeds in excess of 25 mph. Also bear in mind that your pet may not really enjoy the company of 200+ extremely noisy sled dogs! The event organisers know the trail well and theyll be able to advise you of the best spots to stand and watch the action. If you dont want to venture that far, the Start Chute is noisy and hectic but seeing the excitement of teams of dogs raring to go is not to be missed. The Finish line is noisy too but this time it wont be the huskies making the racket
