Top Teams Mush through Wyoming
IPSSSDR starts in Jackson Friday, heading for Wyoming communities
Jackson, Wyoming – January 29, 2010 –The International Pedigree Stage Stop Sled Dog Race (IPSSSDR) starts in Jackson on Friday, January 29, and then speeds through 10 Wyoming communities before its finish in Park City, Utah, on February 6, 2010. The race’s full roster of teams includes many return racers, as well as such newcomers as Chris Adkins from Montana, a 2010 rookie. Buddy Streeper returns to Wyoming to vie for victory; he won first place in his first IPSSSDR in 2004.
"I'm sure anticipation is building in the 10 Wyoming towns we visit as they prepare their usual warm welcome for mushers, friends, families and fans," said IPSSSDR Race Director Frank Teasley. "Our first stage after the Jackson Hole start on Friday will be Lander on January 31. We're looking forward to seeing everyone again."
The 2010 Jackson IPSSSDR send-off takes place January 29, 2010, at the Jackson Hole Winter Carnival complete with a bonfire, fireworks show, music and food booths, before heading on to stages in Lander, Pinedale, Cora, Big Piney/Marbleton, Alpine, Kemmerer/Diamondville, and Uinta County, and the big finish in Park City (a schedule follows this release).
With its unique "stage stop" format, the race stops in a different town each night, giving the Wyoming communities an opportunity to turn on the hospitality for mushers and spectators alike with events from dog parades, kids’ dog sled races and ice sculpture contests to banquets, carnivals and pie socials.
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.
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.
