NEWBERRY -- Is sled dog racing on your bucket list? Well, some folks got to cross it off their's at the Tahquamenon Country Sled Dog Race.
It's all part of Nature's Kennel Sled Dog Adventure which started a few years ago. They let anyone who wants to dog sled, lease a dog team of four to race with. But they train each person on race etiquette and rules, how to dog sled, and how to manage the dog team.
This year they had seven teams participate in the four dog competition.
"It's a perfect event for people to come to that don't have a lot of mushing experience. One reason is they get to see the big team. They get to be part of a big race and a big event and all that chaos gets out of the way, and then they start and do their own race, but they're still part of something bigger," said Tasha Stielstra, owner of Nature's Kennel.
To participate, each team had to pay $800, but that included the entry fee to the race, the dog team rental, and training.
