Idaho Sled Dog Challenge
The Running of the Idaho Sled Dog Challenge (IDSC) includes three concurrent races. The premier event is the 300 mile race, an Iditarod and Yukon Quest qualifier. Many participants in this race are also competing in the Triple Crown event launched in 2019 known as the Rocky Mountain Cup. Participating races include IDSC, Oregon’s Eagle Cap Extreme and Montana’s Race To The Sky.
We also have two new race lengths appearing in 2020; the 100 mile race and the Junior race for participants aged 14-17 years old.
