Gunflint Mail Run Sled Dog Race
Our daughter Joanna ran her first race of the season in our backyard here in Grand Marais, MN. Actually, it took us about an hour to get up the Gunflint Trail where the race started at Trail Center. It is nice to be so close to a race. After the first leg, she was out in front and at the end she even lengthened her lead on the 2nd place finisher. The weather was cool, the trails were hard and fast and her team ran like the wind. Below is her rendition of the race. Thank you Nace Hagemann for the great photos of all the teams at the 2020 Gunflint Mail Run yesterday!!! My team won the 64 mile race with the amazing Schouweiler team hot on our tail!!!! We like to take turns winning these last few years it seems lol ;) What a super fun race this is with amazing hospitality at Trail Center Lodge and this year the trail and weather were absolutely perfect! Fastest trail we have ever run at this race and the dogs just flew! It was a blast for both humans and canines, happy tails at
