As the musher rounded the slight corner in the glow of the full moon, all he could hear was the sound of the runners on crisp snow, and the breathing of his sled dog team.  It had been a very long  journey to get to that instant in time, but to the musher it was the culmination of years of hard work, little sleep, and dedication to his dream and his dogs.

These world class dog athletes had been bred from winning dogs - and diligently trained - some for several years - to do what they love to do - and that is to run - run like the wind.  To these dogs - their trust in their team leader - the musher was complete - if he said they could climb Huckleberry Pass - they would give all of their heart to doing exactly that.

These sled dog experiences and moments of when man and dog are one, only happen when a group of dedicated people - each a cog in the wheel, put forth their efforts and together they create the Best Long Distance Sled Dog Race in the Lower 48 - Race to the Sky - A Montana Tradition.

Race to the Sky is celebrating 25 years of sled dog racing this coming year in 2010.  Organizers are working at a feverish pitch to produce the largest purse, increase public participation, and field the biggest group of mushers and dogs that the race has ever seen.

For the first time ever in the history of the race - Race to Sky will feature a Junior Race to the Sky Sled Dog Race to support  the young stars in the sled dog sport and assist them in fulfilling their dreams.

To make this happen - they need your support - both financial as well as your volunteer time.  If you own a Montana Business - now is the time to get behind this timeless Montana tradition of sled dogs.

From the time that Native Americans hitched up their dog to help pull the travois laden with supplies - to when the only way mail and supplies could be delivered during the winter months in Montana was by sled dogs (can you even imagine the joy of reading a newly arrived letter in the dead of winter?) - to the establishment of the WW2 sled dog training facility at Camp Remini - to the both recreational and racing sled dog organizations of today - Sled Dogs have been there every step of the way - they are a part of Montana’s Tradition.

Join with us in our efforts to make this years race the best ever - and some of us have a dream that we can make Race to the Sky the Main Long Distance Sled Dog Race in the lower 48.  Go to our Buy-a-Mile page and show your support for only $10.  If you own a business - contact us for some very powerful marketing packages that will help your business grow and help us keep this Montana Tradition alive.
