Aviemore Sled Dog Rally
For British sled dog owners, this is 'the' event of their year
where more than 200 teams of Siberian Huskies, Malamutes,
Greenlands and cross-breeds will race through Glenmore
Forest Park on the shores of Loch Morlich. The rally features teams
of between two and eight dogs running at up to 20 miles an hour
over a gruelling, four-mile track.
For spectators, the rally is a great opportunity to see these
fabulous dogs - and their 'mushers' or drivers - being put through
their paces hopefully in their natural element although even if
there is no snow, the dogs will pull wheeled sleds and will be
'booted up' to protect their paws on the rugged forest paths. As
well as sledding events, there are also trips to the nearby
Highland Wildlife Park to see the wolves, whisky-tasting sessions,
a Musher's Market, tea parties, quiz nights and much more.
