Competitor info: Each race is a grouped category with both open and purebred teams competing. Competitors go out at two minute intervals. On day one, open competitors draw bib numbers on Friday night (attendance is mandatory to draw a bib number) and will start off in that order. Siberians also draw bib numbers and go out two minutes after the last open team has left. On day two, competitors go out based on day one times. A bit about our course and classes:  (Click map for a larger view) The Haliburton Highlands is a beautiful and rugged part of the Canadian Shield, located on the southwest corner of Algonquin Park, a land of lakes and wilderness. The race is designed to showcase the land we live on. The layout allows for a complete looped trail so no head-on passing is necessary. The race starts in front of the resort on a straight and level section of the trail. It winds its way through the Pinestone property with a combination of open and straight stretches, as well as some hills and wooded areas. The majority of this trail is laid out, packed and groomed solely for the dogsled race. Each race offers, almost to the decimal, a four and six mile course. For the kid and mutt class, each child must have a dogsled and one dog. The race is approximately 100m in length and registration, for this class only, starts approximately 30 minutes before. For the youth and novice classes, the course is approximately 2 miles in length with a 2 or 3 dog team needed. Race rules and vet care: We follow ISDRA race rules, with a no whip policy.
