4th Annual Bristol Dryland Canadian Championship Dog Race
On October 26th & 27th, 2013 Timberland Tours will host the 4th annual Bristol Dryland Canadian Championship Dog Race. Hundreds of racers and dogs from all over the globe, flock to the small town of Bristol, Quebec to compete in this world class event. As the name suggests, the race is run on a sandy trail that winds through a beautiful pine forest. Racers and their dogs can compete in several events: scooter, canicross, bikejoring and 4, 6, and 8 dog rigs. Spectators can observe the race from several look out points including the start and finish bleachers, a high rise stand, and also along an access path that cuts through the forest and crosses the race track.
Last year the race won 3 ISDRA (International Sled Dog Racing Association) awards for event of the year in bikejoring , 2-dog scooter and 6-dog rig class. 2013 World Champions, Jessica Doherty from NY and Kati Dagenais from QC, are regular competitors. With the largest purse of over $10,000 it is one of the biggest dryland races in the world. In fact the Bristol Dryland race was ranked 3rd worldwide in 2010 by all registered racers .
