The Athletes- Fall Training

Training begins late-August when the morning lows are well below 50 degrees F. We use a heavy ATV which can safely control a large team, but some mushers use a mountain bike, scooter or modified golf cart to run 2 or 3 dogs.

Bikejoring and cani-cross are sports that can be done with only one dog. The latter is a popular event in Europe where runners and their harnessed dogs compete in races.
