  • March 17 — NOTE: PLAN CHANGE!
  • Plan A: Group Use Area 1 trail at Birds Hill Park: Arrive at 10:30 for 10:45 am launch. Kick sleds and cleats recommended.
  • Plan B: East Beach at Birds Hill Park. Arrive at 11 am, for 11:15 walk. Cleats recommended.
  • Poker Derby: Prize draw and lunch at the 59er Restaurant at 12 noon. See latest email for details.
  • When approaching another team, call out to gain the handler’s attention. “Trail, on your right/left!”
  • Slow your dog(s), or come to a stop. Use a ‘suitcase hold’ to better control your dog(s).
  • Wait until the team ahead indicates they are ready to be passed.
  • When passing, skijorers must shorten the gangline.
  • Kick sledders may need to step off the sled, and guide your dog(s) on-by. Do not let go of your team. 
  • After the pass is complete, keep your dog(s) moving forward. If you have to, pull them on-by.
  • If the other team catches up to you, negotiate a running order, and remember: keep your distance!
