We are ready to hit the road to Ft Mcmurray  Alberta for the inaugral running of this race.
I first heard of this through another musher and so I signed up three teams, unfortunatly Kate hurt her back  a couple of weeks ago and is now trying to recover at her parents place in California.  and our other driver Tyler had other commitments. So it will just me me heading there, Jeff Dinsdale will be accompanying me as the "handler/ truck driver" along with 14 dogs we are hitiing the raod in the next couple of hours. 
the race will be a stage format running from Ft Mcmurray to Ft Chipewyan Alberta about 180 miles over 4 days of racing.
mileage is  30- 50 miles a day. 
From the info I have , there are 11 teams, 
Grant Beck
Ernis Campbell
Roland Campbell
Jake Golton
Randy Mackenzie
Aaron Peck
John Stewart 
Buddy Streeper
Christana Travest
Jerry Walker
Warren Palfrey

Will will be following the Athabasca river heading north it is cold there right now about -32 c and will be a cold race I figure.

I will update as I can from the road, not sure on Internet access while racing but I'll do what I can.
