NOW IN IT’S 17TH YEAR, THE INTERNATIONAL PEDIGREE STAGE STOP SLED DOG RACE HAS QUIETLY TURNED INTO THE LARGEST DOG SLED RACE IN THE LOWER 48…AND IT BRINGS WITH IT…MORE THAN DOGS AND MUSHERS TO THE SMALL TOWNS ALONG THE RACE-ROUTE.
THEIR MISSION IS TO RAISE MONEY TO PROVIDE FREE IMMUNIZATIONS FOR KIDS…AND WITH IT’S UNIQUE STAGE STOP RACING FORMAT, IT ALSO OFFERS FANS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO MEET THESE INTERNATIONALLY-KNOWN COMPETITORS.
THE RACE BRINGS TOGETHER A BROAD RANGE COMPETITORS…FROM SEASONED VETERANS TO YOUNG BEGINNERS.
THIS RACE IS GENERALLY VIEWED AS A GOOD WARM UP FOR THE DADDY OF THEM ALL, THE IDITAROD; A GRUELING 1,200 MILE RACE IN THE ALASKAN OUTBACK THAT STRETCHES FROM ANCHORAGE TO NOME AND JUST WRAPPED UP THIS PAST WEEK.
EIGHT TIME IDITAROD-MUSHER AND DIRECTOR OF THE INTERNATIONAL PEDIGREE STAGE STOP SLED DOG RACE, FRANK TEASLEY SAYS THE HOUNDS ARE THE REAL REASON PEOPLE COME OUT TO SHOW THEIR SUPPORT.
VETERAN “BUDDY” STREEPER PROVED TO BE A FORCE AGAIN IN THIS YEARS EVENT,
WINNING IT ALL FOR THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR AND FOURTH TIME IN THE PAST EIGHT YEARS.
