2023 Gunflint Mail Run happening on January 7
The annual Gunflint Mail Run Sled Dog Race celebrates the long history of dog sledding in Cook County.
The race will occur on Saturday, Jan. 7, 2023, at Trail Center Lodge. This year’s race will feature two classes, a 65-mile 8-dog race, and a 100-mile 12-dog race. The first race will start at 8 a.m., and the second will begin at 9 a.m.
Teams will start and finish at Trail Center Lodge, located about 25 miles up the Gunflint Trail from Grand Marais.
“Trail Center is iconic,” Cathy Quinn, the race organizer, said.
“It’s a fun place to hang out in between when teams are coming and going,” she said. “You can get really close to the teams as they come in and out of the shoots.”
