Thank you for Flathead Classic

Dog Creek Lodge hosted the annual Flathead Classic Sled Dog Race on Feb 22 and 23. There were 45 entrants participating in one or more dog powered events including dog team races, skijoring, bikejoring and a peewee race for those under five years of age.

We really appreciate the time donated by trail volunteers, the trail crew did an awesome job with a slushy trail system, and the race organizers did an incredible job keeping everything together. I apologize if I have forgotten anyone – thank you.
