Chocolate Claim Mud Puppy Derby - Update

Trails still have some mud, remember to bring a change of clothes to relax around the pot-luck BBQ after. Flagging/checking Thurs/Fri this week. Look out for the Weatherperson!

For address details etc please click on "DPSAY/CHT Org Race Shedule" to the right of this article, just above the Duffy's logo.

Races same as always -

1 Pet Dog 1 mile; 1 Sled dog 1 mile; 2 Sled dogs 2 miles - run, use a bike, scooter, anything so long as it's unpowered and the dog(s) stay attached to you or the "vehicle" throughout the race, Helmets mandatory. 
Formula 1 - powered or unpowered quad bike with 4-12 dogs, 2 miles, Helmets advised. 

Protective body armour advised for all races. Protect yourself, because you will be signing all other protection away with the race disclaimer.

Entry Fee $10 per race

The CHT Org has joined with The Dog Powered Sports Association of the Yukon (DPSAY) in order to organise this season's expanded set of 13 race days (44 races).  DPSAY is able to apply for grant support (CHT Org cannot) and will be doing so for eg Race bibs, race organisation support, gambling licence for the "--?-- and Take the Beer" Poker Run. However there is a small cost to this - membership of DPSAY - single annual membership is $15/year; family membership is $25/year. 

To enter the CHT/DPSAY races you have to be a member of DPSAY (as happens in various other races/associations but a whole lot cheaper) - so pay the annual entry fee at your first race, and then you can enter any of the 44 races on offer for their very modest entry fee of usually $10.  

See you on Saturday 23rd, 6 pm, for a mud splattered evening and some delicious chocolate and cakes!
