This month and early next, several beloved sled dog races return to the Upper Peninsula, bringing spectators from all over the Midwest and beyond to revel in the high-energy atmosphere and cheer on the mushers – and, of course, the hard-working pups. Upcoming races include the UP200 (Feb. 17-21), the Midnight Run (Feb. 17-21), the Jack Pine 30 (Feb. 19), and the CopperDog 150 (March 4-6).
The events are volunteer-driven and infused with a sense of community. Many businesses join in on the fun, hosting bonfires and offering hot cocoa and other treats to attendees. Read more here.
