Ready, set, mush!
Volunteers are working hard and final trail preparations are being done this week for the return of the 2016 Cariboo Challenge Jack Gawthorn Memorial Sled Dog Race, Jan 30-31.
The popular sled dog races and family-friendly event returns to the 108 Mile Ranch Heritage Site after last year's cancellation for lack of snow.
The event will see races in a number of categories: 10-dog, six-dog, four-dog, junior and skijoring.
Food will be available catered by Psalm 23.
A musher's meeting (Jan. 29) and banquet (Jan. 30) have been moved to the 108 Resort.
Kicking off the race festivities is the return of Cariboo Challenge Family Fun Night to Birch Avenue with community games and celebrations on Jan. 29.
