Due to a lack of snow in the Prince Albert area, the start location of the Canadian Challenge Sled Dog Race has been changed.

“The race will now start at the Trail Riders Arena at Spruce Home, directly across the road from the Spruce Home School. Please note, this is north of the Buckland Arena where we started the last time we had to leave downtown,” stated a news release from the Canadian Challenge.

Last year’s Canadian Challenge had to be cancelled due to poor trail conditions caused by warm weather.

So far, 19 teams have signed up for the event, which begins at 12:00 pm on Tuesday, February 21st.
