Vet Check/Meeting/Awards Location): JRMCC (Jonas Roberts Memorial Community Centre), situated at 409 Far Reserve Rd, La Ronge, SK S0J 1L0… here
Monday 16th February – This is where our event kicks off! Starting mid to late morning, 10 dog teams will arrive for their check-ups with our dedicated race vets, led by Dr. Romany Pinto. The setup will be straightforward, a few tables and chairs, a dog weighing scale, and a display of our merchandise. We’ll also have coffee, tea, and some refreshments available throughout the afternoon.
After the vet checks, we’ll clear the hall and arrange chairs in a theatre style for the musher meeting. This will cover all the essential details of the race and what participants can expect. Once the meeting wraps up, we’ll take care of clearing away tables, chairs, and any other items used during the day.
Friday 20th February – The Awards breakfast will be in this hall so we’ll need to set up prior to 9:30 AM and clear after the awards celebration ends.
Race/Checkpoint Location: Riese Park is located along the lakefront in La Ronge, SK S0J 1L0… here
Tuesday 17th February – We’re excited to launch the race right here, kicking off our first mass start on Tuesday at 10:00 AM. It’s also where the 6-dog race will restart on Thursday. Volunteers, along with some Rangers, will assist in setting up the checkpoint. We’ll have tents, firewood, stoves, and some food and refreshments available, so we’ll need to organize that before the race begins. During the event, there will be timing and equipment checks as teams make their departures and arrivals over the next few days. Volunteers will be on hand to help with general tasks when they can, relay any issues that arise, and provide updates on team arrival and departure times to the timing administration.
We appreciate any volunteer hours you can contribute to complete or help with a shift—whatever works best for you. When you sign up for any task, you’ll have the opportunity to let us know your preferred hours.
