Race Routes

Race Routes The Race to the Sky continues to grow in its reputation as a competitive event dedicated to challenging both mushers and their teams. The Race is a challenge unequaled in the sport because it is the most mountainous trail offered in the sport of distance mushing. The trail borders three nationally-designated wilderness areas and climbs to 6,000 feet. There is nothing like being behind a dog team on a moonlit night, shooting stars racing by, and the only sound within range is your own.

Race Elevations

Race Elevations Race to the Sky sled dog race is one of the most challenging long distance race in North America. With a terrain that crosses the continental divide heading south out of Camp Remini, to the 6000 ft elevations of Huckleberry Pass and Richmond ridge - Race to the Sky provides breath taking beauty as well as challenging terrain.

The first Junior Race to the Sky finished in the early morning hours of February 15 at the Seeley Lake Trailhead, just outside Seeley Lake, Montana. Five junior racers started out on Sunday, February 14th , at 10:00 a.m. to race 100 continuous miles.

Winning the first-time-ever event was Justin Fink from Gladwin, Michigan crossing the finish line at 1:05 a.m. Monday morning. Next was Jenny Greger of Bozeman, Montana 29 minutes later. Lacey Hart of Livingston, Montana, finished just 10 minutes after Jenny Greger at 2:14 a.m. In fourth place was Eimanne El Zein (Emunn) of Edmonds, Washington and finally Aiyana Ferraro of Victor, Montana.

Aiyana actually had the fastest time on the first half of the inaugural leg of the race from Hi Country Snack Foods until she missed a trail marker and headed back into Hi Country Snack Foods, adding about 12 miles to her race. With a great attitude, she turned the team around when she reached Hi Country Snack Foods and headed to the White Tail Ranch on Saturday early evening.

Justin Fink as winner of the Junior Race to the Sky received $800 in prize money and numerous items donated by businesses. Jenny Greger received $500. All junior mushers cash and prizes.

Winner of the Sportsmanship Award was Aiyana Ferraro of Victor, Montana. Lacey Hart lost her team the first day and it was Aiyana that gave her a ride on her sled to help her regain her team.

Dr. Melanie Donofro, an International Sled Dog Race Veterinarian from Tallahassee, Florida, awarded her with a check for $50 as the Best Cared For Team Award. This coveted award is given to the musher that gives his/her team the best care during the race.

In other race news, the 350 mile race is progressing slowly today as temperatures reached 42 degrees near Seeley Lake. Mushers were waiting for cooler running termperatures this evening.

On their way to the Condon Wilderness Checkpoint were James Bardoner of Signal Mountain, Tennessee, Cindy Gallea of Seeley Lake, Montana, Doug Wurzelbacher of Chilcoot, California, Kris Hoffman of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, Megan Routley of Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada, and Ryne Olson of McMillan, Michigan. Still in Seeley Lake was Mark Ibsen of Helena, Montana.

Latest Race to the Sky News -February 8,2010

Getting reports from all parts of the trail system that it is in excellent conditions.

The one exception is the Owl Creek trail, where there has been a localized lack of snowfall.
However, the trail conditions on the alternate trail are excellent.

Looking for new snow around race time…..

We ran a team through the new Monture Creek Trail Sunday – The dogs loved it – and it was
a beautiful day. You should have seen the pair of dogs who were a bit spooked
by the water and their first bridge experience …Their reaction was to lean into one another
as they both crowded for the center of the bridge……………..

In partnership with TrackLeaders.com, Race to the Sky teams this year will each
carry a SPOT tracker GPS locator. You will be able to go the the race website
and check the progress of each sled dog team in real time. We are really looking forward to
this feature and it also provides the teams with an additional layer of safety.
http://www.racetothesky.org

The race festivities begin this Friday in Helena at the State Capitol.

You will want to take in the Mushing Art Show Friday afternoon in the Capitol Rotunda where

Helena’s Biggest & Best Food, Brews & Blues Extravaganza

The 16th Annual Micro-Brew Review & Cool Dog Ball will be held Friday, January 29th at the Helena
Civic Center Ballroom from 6 to 11:30 p.m. The Micro-Brew Review & Cool Dog Ball is the largest fundraiser benefiting the RACE to the SKY, a 350 mile sled dog race to be held February 12 – 17th. The Race to the Sky will be celebrating its 25th Anniversary as a great Montana Tradition as mushers and their teams will compete in this prestigious race along Montana’s Continental Divide.

The Micro-Brew festival will feature thirty-six of the finest micro-beers from Montana and the northwest. Montana breweries participating in the Brew Review include Blackfoot River Brewing and Lewis & Clark Brewery of Helena, Big Sky and Bayern Brewing of Missoula, Bitterroot Brewing of Hamilton, Harvest Moon of Belt, Red Lodge Brewery, Beaver Creek Brewery of Wibaux and Quarry Brewery of Butte. In addition to the micro-beers there will be wine, non-alcoholic beverages and a variety of entrees and appetizers available for purchase.

Advance tickets for Helena’s most popular wintertime event are limited to the first 1,500 participants and are available at Bert & Ernie’s, Topper’s Cellar, The Overland Express, Staggering Ox, The Man Stores and the Downtown Helena office. Advance tickets are $15 and everyone must be 21 or older to attend and be able to present a valid picture ID. Any remaining tickets, if available will be sold at the door for $17, plus each ticket holder will receive a commemorative Cool Dog glass. Cool Dog is the handsome sun glass wearing Siberian Husky who is the official mascot for the Race to the Sky.
At 8:30 p.m., Scott Holt will light up the night with his special blend of Blues, Rock, R&B and Honky Tonk music that will take the crowd to another level. Holt first appeared in Helena this past summer at the Mount Helena Music Festival. Competing with the flying Thunderbirds in the sky, Holt gave a passionate performance on the electric guitar that recaptured the lost talents of Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn and of course Buddy Guy and himself. His vocals are bluesy, full and recognizable coupled with R&B influences will blend the two genres seamlessly together for a wintertime fun-fest.

Scott Holt’s lineage can be traced easily back to the “ground zero” of the Blues. Scott was taken under the wing of Blues legend Buddy Guy just as Buddy had been taken in by Otis Rush and Muddy Waters. It started on a cool fall night, at The London Victory Club in Tampa FL. After hearing his first Jimi Hendrix record and deciding that he simply had to play guitar, Scott Holt with his dad, went to see a blues legend in action. The rest as they say is history. Over the course of the next year, Scott had the opportunity to jam with Buddy at several gigs including the opening night of Buddy’s club Legend’s during the Chicago Blues Festival. In 1989, he got a call from Buddy Guy asking if he’d like to join his band. Saying yes led to 10 years of standing to Buddy’s left on stages all over the world. Playing with everyone from Eric Clapton to Richard Gere! Playing Las Vegas and the Rose Bowl with the Rolling Stones, on television shows like Austin City Limits, The Tonight Show and Conan Obrien. While with Buddy, Scott was also working at home in Nashville with his own band and developing a reputation in town as one of the premiere live bands. Scott and his band have burned through more vans, racked up more miles and played more shows in the last seven years than The Rolling Stones, Elvis and The Beatles combined! “It’s the Blues, it’s real music, not music made by machines or computers. Its music played from the heart every time!” – Scott Holt.
