Sled Dog Racing
The first of the three races in the Superior Crown Sled Dog Series has been canceled again this year. This weekend’s Tahquamenon Country Sled Dog Race was called off because of a lack of snow.
It’s the second rough start for the Superior Crown Series, which was established to reward mushers who excel at the Tahquamenon, the U.P. 200 and the CopperDog 150. In its inaugural year last year, both the Tahquamenon and the U.P. 200 had to be canceled because of poor conditions. This year’s U.P. 200 is scheduled for mid-February, and the CopperDog 150 for the first weekend in March.
