Attention mushers and mushing fans! The UP200 is hosting the 8th annual UP200 Dryland Dash on October 12 and 13, 2024! This free-for-spectators event will start at 9am each day at Negaunee Township Park.

There will be races for wheeled rigs, scooters, bikes and canicross with 1, 2, 4 and 6-dog teams, all competing on a beautiful two mile loop. After the events, the two day times will be totaled to determine winners of the cash purse.

Spectators can watch these amazing canine athletes and their human partners compete for a share of the prizes against the beautiful fall backdrop of the park. Don’t miss out– come enjoy all the excitement of sled dog races without snow or ice!
