UPDATE: UP200 – Midnight Run – Jack Pine 30

Everyone looking forward to this weekend’s sled dog races is wondering:  Is there enough snow?

Race organizers believe there is enough snow to run all three races, although some modifications are anticipated.

This week’s warm weather was not helpful, but cold nighttime temperatures preserved most of our snowpack.  We are monitoring tonight’s weather pattern which includes a chance of rain.  Icy trails are dangerous for dogs, mushers, spectators and volunteers.  The UPSDA Board is working with race officials and trail crew, sorting through options to get our mushers safely down the trail.

Stay tuned – more details coming once we see what tonight’s weather has in store.
