Hello Race Fans and Members,
The Annamaet Challenge Series Race #4 is scheduled for this Saturday, Jan. 28th. Please be aware of the temperature cut off as follows: Challenge Series races will be cancelled if the temperature at the Fairbanks International Airport is –25° Fahrenheit or below at 8:15 a.m. on the day of the race. The temperature reported at 907-458-3745 (option 1113) at the cutoff time, regardless of time of update, is considered the official airport temperature.
We will once again use post entry rules for sign-ups with no additional post entry fee. In Challenge Series races post entries for skijor must be submitted by 10:00 a.m., 4-dog must be submitted by 10:30 a.m., 6-dog must be submitted by 11:00 a.m., 8/10-dog and open class must be submitted by 11:30 a.m. Membership/trail pass is $50 for ADMA and entry fees are as follows: Skijor/4-dog class $15, 6/8/10-dog class $20, Open class $25.
Skijor class starts at 10:30 a.m. 4-dog will start 16 mins after the last skijor entrant leaves the start line (no earlier than 11:00) and if there are Junior entrants, they will start 6 mins after the last adult entrant. 16 mins after last 4-dog goes out will be the start time for the 6-dog class (no earlier than 11:30), again 6 mins after the last adult entrant the junior division will start. 16 mins after the last 6-dog, we will start the 8-dog class (no earlier than 12:00) and while the 8-dog class is out we will run the junior 1-dog class. Then the open class will start and the junior 2-dog class can run during that class. Racers will go out in order of sign-up.
See you at the races!

The official temperature in Fairbanks is -44, so the Annamaet Challenge Series Race #2 is cancelled. Race #3 is scheduled for next Sunday, Jan. 22nd. Let’s hope it warms up and we’ll see you then!

Carl and I went around the trail yesterday. We went as far as the 10 turn
