Ididarun Sled Dog Race

Tahoe Donner Cross Country Center   |  3PM  

Inspired by the world-famous Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race that takes place every year in March from Anchorage to Nome, Alaska. This year Tahoe Donner Cross Country Center will hold its own “Ididarun” race to benefit the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe.

Downsized in scale and distance but supersized in fun, this exciting sled dog race against the clock will include four weight categories for sporting pups to pull a sled weighing 50% of their body weight across a snow-covered course. Each division will have a winner, with an overall racing champion.

Raffle tickets will also be on sale for additional chances to win fun prizes with 100% of the proceeds from the raffle will go to the Humane Society. Prizes include: 1 Night Stay at Carson Valley Inn for Two, $125 Food Certificate for CV Steak House, Golf at Grays Crossing Tahoe Donner and Grizzly Ranch, a free Ski Tune and Custom Footbeds from Starthaus, Ski Passes and more! Tickets are 1 for $1 or 25 for $20 and you do not need to be present to win. To purchase tickets in advance contact Jess at: jsvoboda@tahoedonner.com
