Popular in the Arctic, parts of Europe, and Wyoming, a sled dog race is a timed competition featuring teams of dogs that pull a sled and a musher over long distances in the winter. The first stop of this premier stage-format sled dog race is Jackson’s Town Square, where participants watch the sleds take off through the streets in a town-wide winter celebration full of cheer and festivities.
