Inspired by the legendary Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in Alaska, Tahoe Donner Cross Country Center hosts its own spirited version: the I-Did-A-Run Sled Dog Race. This community event raises funds for the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe while celebrating the strength, energy, and enthusiasm of local canine athletes.
In this downsized but action-packed race, dogs pull a sled weighing 50 percent of their body weight across a snow-covered course, competing in four weight divisions. Each category will crown a winner, with one overall racing champion.
Spectators are invited to cheer on the teams and enjoy the lively atmosphere. Raffle tickets will also be available for chances to win a wide variety of prizes donated by local businesses, with 100 percent of proceeds benefiting the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe.
Dog race entries are currently full, but everyone is welcome to attend and watch the fun.
Events are weather permitting and subject to cancellation.

Gather your coven for a morning of costumes, community, a lakeside ritual and a witchy paddle across Donner Lake—all while giving back to the local community.
