Carbon Hill Sled Dog Race goes Saturday

The Carbon Hill Sled Dog Race will run Saturday at the Lorne Mountain Community Centre.

Now in its 19th year, the popular community race attracts all types of mushers – young, old, amateur and professional.

Races include 10- and 30-mile sled dog races, six- and 30-mile skijor races, and a variety of junior races.

Last year, the race saw more than 50 entries and purse money of up to $1,000.

Great prizes are also won in the shorter races.

An awards ceremony – including a bowl of Arctic char chowder for all – will be held at the community centre at 3:30 p.m.
