Second day of racing cancelled due to extreme temperatures.
.2014 Grand Prairie Sled Dog Derby

The first day the weather was a chilly -28c. We shuffled the classes slightly to give the sun a chance to rise and warm things up a bit for the skijoring event. Mushers and their teams crossed the finish line with frosty faces but everyone in good spirits. We were very happy with our new venue and the trail bosses did an excellent job despite the large amount of snow that fell in December. Due to the extreme cold temps -35c -40c with the wind chill we made the difficult decision to cancel the races on day two for the safety of the mushers, their dogs and our volunteers. It was disappointing but we are hopeful next year we will have more favourable weather as we are just getting started
