The Rocky Mountain Sled Dog Club (RMSDC) promotes the art and joy of mushing through racing events, outreach, education, and responsible stewardship of the sport. We host sprint races ranging from four to fifteen miles in length as well as fun runs. There are two participation levels- seasoned mushers and newer recreational mushers.  We also have youth races for those under 14 years old. Depending on the season, events include bikejor, canicross, rigs, skijoring, fat bike bikjor, and sleds. Sledding uses 2, 4, 6, 8 or more dogs and the length of the race is usually equal to the number of dogs used.  For instance 4 dog teams run 4 miles and 8 dog teams run 8 miles. Skijorers usually race for 4 miles with one dog and 6 miles when using 2 dogs.
