Idaho Sled Dog Challenge

The Running of the Idaho Sled Dog Challenge (ISDC) includes three 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 Rocky Mountain Triple Crown.  Participating races include ISDC, Oregon’s Eagle Cap Extreme and Montana’s Race To The Sky.

In 2023 we added the two day 26 mile Warm Lake Stage Race.
