Patten Sherman Mid-Distance Race

Down East Sled Dog Club, Inc.

January 18 & 19, 2003

The trail on Saturday was a narrow winding, rough 32 mile trail more suited to six dogs than open teams. It was a hard packed fast trail that completely wore the points off one experienced driver's brake. On Sunday it was hard packed but wide snowmobile trail that everybody enjoyed.

The race committee has assured everybody that the trail will be improved for next year's race.

Times are given in hours, minutes, seconds, and hundredths
