Teams from Canada, Switzerland, Scotland and the U.S. have filled the 2009 International Pedigree Stage Stop Sled Dog Race (IPSSSDR) field, announced Race Director Frank Teasley. Twenty teams will arrive in Wyoming for the Jackson, Wyo., start of the IPSSSDR, the largest sled dog race in the lower 48 states, slated for January 30. The race continues through 10 Wyoming towns before ending in Park City, Utah, on February 7.
"The IPSSSDR is truly an international event," said Teasley. "Word about our Wyoming race has spread throughout the years to attract top mushers from around the world."
Half of the teams in this year’s race are newcomers to the event including Switzerland’s Emil Inauen, Scotland’s John Stewart, and Steamboat Springs’ 15-year-old Krista Halsnes. The International Pedigree Stage Stop Sled Dog Race was founded in 1996 by Frank Teasley to make sled dog racing more accessible to the public.
