Idaho Sled Dog Challenge
The Running of the Idaho Sled Dog Challenge (ISDC) 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 Triple Crown. Participating races include ISDC, Oregon’s Eagle Cap Extreme and Montana’s Race To The Sky.
New for the 2022, all races will start at Lake Cascade. In addition to our 300 mile featured race are a 100 mile race and a Junior race for participants aged 14-17 years old.
