It takes a lot of time and effort to look after the dogsCuster himself would carefully check out each of his dogs before and after practices and competitions, feeding each one homecooked food from his own stove to prepare them for the run. Other mushers are no exception - the dogs are not just animals, they’re athletes being put through their paces.

Dental Assistant

Major dog racing events are still held around North America, including the famed Iditarod, a thousand-mile event run every winter in Alaska. In northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan, few races still take place, such as the Hudson Bay Quest race from Gillam to Churchill, or the World Championship races held as part of the Northern Manitoba Trappers’ Festival in and around The Pas. In the one year where dogsled racing was part of the Winter Olympics, back in Lake Placid, N.Y. in 1932, northern Manitobans owned the race - The Pas’ Emile St. Godard claimed gold, while Flin Flon’s William “Shorty” Russick took bronze.

Despite that heritage, organized dogsled races have not been held in the Flin Flon or Denare Beach areas for several years. No formal dog teams currently call the area home.

“It’s only a short race, it’s only 12 miles, but it won’t take them very long at all.”

While there haven’t been races in years, Campbell and Olson both say that community response to the race has been positive. Funds to organize the event and guarantee the participants’ purse have come in, along with people wanting to help out and volunteer. Campbell said it has been positive, adding that the event will be an alcohol-anddrug-free event and that they hope to attract families.

“It’s been upwards of 20 years - I’m not exactly sure when the last one was, but both Flin Flon and Denare Beach used to have their own dogsled race. I think Flin Flon withdrew and then Denare Beach had a race for a year or two after that - my dad took over one year for it,” Olson said.
