Increase to the Race Purse
The Upper Peninsula Sled Dog Association at its 9/14 meeting voted to increase the Dryland Dash purse by $500 to now total $2500. This was done so mushers, many of whom have long distances to come, have a better chance of winning at least some gas money to offset the current prices. Register for the race here.
