Mother Nature has thrown a wrench in this year’s annual Gold Rush Trail Sled Dog Mail Run.
Changes have been made to Sunday’s schedule of events. The mushers and their teams of dogs will now make their final dash and deliver the mail to the Jack O’ Clubs General Store in Wells, instead of the traditional Barkerville.
The reasons for the changes are due to the warmer conditions and rain, making the area in Barkerville treacherous.
The Sled Dog Mail run starts tomorrow, February 6, at Troll Mountain Ski Resort, with Stage 1 starting at around 1 p.m., and the annual banquet and auction beginning at 6 pm.
Saturday, Stage 2 of the run begins at 11 a.m. The teams will be running the Cornish Mountain Loop. Then the musher sports will start at 3 p.m., next to the Jack O’ Clubs Pub.
Sunday, the final stage will begin at 10 am, with the final dash at 11 a.m., and the Wind-Up and the Awards will be at the Jack o Clubs Pub starting at 1 p.m.
