What is The Silver Sled?
The Silver Sled is a 100 Mile Dog Race from Haines Junction to Silver City and return (a stage race), with racers spending the night in Silver City on the shores of Kluane Lake at the Arctic Research Institute Kluane Lake Research Station. The race occurs in early March, where teams enjoy the longer days of spring on one of the most scenic trails in the Yukon. Traveling through the valleys and hills below Yukon's spectacular Kluane Ranges is a magical experience racers don't soon forget!
The race is organized and promoted by the Silver Sled Race Committee, a non-profit organization based in Haines Junction. In oder to keep this event running in a sustainable fashion for years to come, the Committee has chosen to host the full Silver Sled stage race every second year, and to host a shorter, 1 day Chili paw race on alternating years.
