Official Iditarod Qualifier

Idaho Sled Dog Challenge

The Running of the Idaho Sled Dog Challenge (ISDC) includes three races: a 100-mile, 300-mile and the Warm Lake Stage Race, a two-day 52-mile sprint race. The premier event is the 300-mile race, one of the only three Iditarod qualifiers in the lower 48. Many participants who run the 300-mile race also compete in the Rocky Mountain Triple Crown, allowing them to qualify for the Iditarod in a single year.  Participating races include Oregon’s Eagle Cap Extreme, the Idaho Sled Dog Challenge, and Montana’s Race To The Sky.
