**Attention Mushers**

The Betty Carhart event is still on, but due to high temperatures forecast for Saturday, the event will be a ONE DAY—SUNDAY ONLY RACE on March 26.

We will start early to hopefully avoid rain coming in later in the day.

Drivers meeting is mandatory at 7:30 AM with the first class (4 dog) starting at 8:15. Please plan accordingly so you have your team ready at your chute time.

The Pennsylvania Sled Dog Club and Jersey Sands Sled Dog Racing Association is proud to present the Betty Carhart Memorial Race.
