Winterfest // Al Pine 1500
About[/i] Welcome to our very first Dog Sled Race & the first event in our Winterfest lineup! The Al Pine 1500 is a long-distance, multi-day, sled dog race. Starting in Granite Falls, mushers and their teams will need to cover 1500km along the Al Pine trail to reach the finish line in Brindleton Bay. The race requires self-sufficiency, resilience, and a strong bond between team and musher to make it through the long frozen days and nights.
This is a team scoring trial! Dogs will be scored by positions and will earn points towards position specific titles. Each pair will evenly share points to better highlight the importance of each position on the team.
» Up to two reserve dogs may be noted in case of a needed dog swap (injury, spooked on trial, exhaustion, refusal to continue for any reason, illness, ect). Reserve dogs will not get points unless they get swapped in to finish the race - if swapped they’ll split any earned points evenly with the dog that they replaced.
» This is a two part trial! The trial will include a "Race Start" entry period and will close off with a "Race Finish" entry period. Teams must complete both legs of the race to qualify for scoring!
» First to cross the finish line will be determined by the highest overall combined score of the first and second legs of the race, second to cross the finish line will be determined by the highest overall score in the first leg of the race, and third to cross the finish line will be determined by the highest overall score in the second leg of the race.
As with all Utility and Versatile trials we expect you to be well aware of what your breed is capable of, expect harsh judgement should you enter a breed that is clearly not suited for this trial.

Happily free of her booties for the last leg of the race, Hotfoot lead the team keenly, full of energy and determination that helped keep the less seasoned dogs moral high. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/MZjQZhkz/SIKCDec18-PCSledding1.png) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/13ynHX8z/SIKCDec18-PCSledding2.png) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/9F5qDJVZ/SIKCDec18-PCSledding3.png)

Everyone was in high spirits, many of the dogs more interested in goofing around to burn off some excess energy, including our youngster who is holding up far better than we'd expected for her first long distance sled race. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/FHmfFzm4/SIKCDec18-Sled1b.png) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/Z0zScWjK/SIKCDec18-Sled1c.png) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/jdywrNpc/SIKCDec18-Sled1d.png) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/9XRwJs1v/SIKCDec18-Sled1e.png)
