Saturday, April 3, 2021

Chugiak Dog Mushers invites businesses and community members to share the thrill of the runners on our local trails.  All proceeds go to the Chugiak Dog Mushers Association, providing opportunities for the public to learn about and engage in our state sport of dog mushing.

​The Race:  The “Friends of CDMA” Race is a 3-dog, 2-mile sprint race on the groomed sled dog trails in Beach Lake Park.  CDMA provides the dogs, sled, and training - you provide the driver! Trophies will be awarded to the top three competitors, and a participation prize will be given to all.
