Attention Mushers: The 2008 rules are posted in the "Downloadable Musher Packet" link on your right.
The UPSDA and Jack Pine Mushers Association would like to extend an invitation to all mushers to participate in the U.P. 200, Midnight Run and Jack Pine 30 Sled Dog Races.
Special efforts have been made to give high visibility to the U.P. 200 Sled Dog Championship and Midnight Run; however, ensuring the safety and care of the animals and maintaining the positive spirit of competition are a priority. In the interest of fair competition, the UPSDA and Jack Pine Mushers will make every effort to provide the best possible volunteer support for the competitors, and the Race Marshall will use his or her best judgment to correct any human errors that are verifiable and correctable. It should be noted that in all situations race officials will attempt to follow the spirit of the rule, rather than the letter of the law, understanding that the race is to be awarded on merit and not on technicality.
Since 2004, all U.P. 200 entrants may use the race as an Iditarod qualifyer with no additional requirements above and beyond the standard U.P. 200 rules.
