The Dog Powered Sports Association of the Yukon held their second dryland race of the summer season Saturday at the Caribou Crossing Trading Post grounds near Carcross. There were 10 human racers and their canine friends taking part.

Thanks to everyone who came out.

Also thanks to Caribou Crossing Trading Post for hosting on their trails and Winterlong Brewing Co. for sponsoring again. The trail was excellent and the canine athletes were able to cool down with misty showers after!
