“On behalf of the entire race organization, I am pleased to announce that EUKANUBA will join us as our new title sponsor,” stated Dan Carter, Race Director. “As the Stage Stop moves into its third decade as the world’s most competitive stage race, we are proud to partner with this iconic brand.”
Backed by more than 45 years of scientific research, EUKANUBA™ is known as the brand that fuels a lifetime of astounding moments of physical achievement in dogs.

Mars Petcare owns a family of brands, including PEDIGREE® Dog Food, which will continue to support the stage stop sled dog race as the sponsor of the 8-Dog Classic as well as a variety of other activities.
“After 15 years of partnership with the Stage Stop Race, we are pleased to transition our sponsorship to the PEDIGREE® 8-Dog Classic,” said Dan Jackson, PEDIGREE brand director. “PEDIGREE will be hosting a variety of activities along the race to support our mission to help dogs find loving, forever homes.”
