Towns Roll Out Red Carpet for Sled Dog Race
First 2008 IPSSSDR stage stop mushes through Jackson, January 25
Jackson, Wyoming—January 17, 2007—What has 1,216 legs, travels nearly 350 miles, and stops
in 12 towns and two states over eight days? The 2008 International Pedigree Stage Stop Sled Dog Race (IPSSSDR), which races
from Wyoming to Utah, January 25 to February 2.
Nineteen teams have registered for the 2008 event, with each team bringing up to 16 dogs. With
its unique “stage stop” format, the race stops in a different town every night, allowing teams to rest and earning the IPSSSDR
the moniker “the dog friendly race.” The format also allows host communities to show their hospitality to mushers and
spectators with a variety of lively, family-friendly events from fireworks to dog shows, torchlight parades to pancake breakfasts.
Pedigree® Food for Dogs is the title sponsor of the IPSSSDR. The Pedigree® brand actively supports a wide range of programs
that promote responsible pet ownership and highlight the contributions dogs make to society. For additional information about
