“RULES & MAPS”

MUSH FOR A CURE IS NOT A RACE.

Entry Fee: $50 if registration is postmarked prior to January 31, 2010. $75 February 1 – March 6, 2010
(New for 2010, entry fee required at time of registration)

ENTRIES LIMITED TO THE FIRST 50 SLED TEAMS AND FIRST 30 SKIJOR TEAMS ENTERED

Dog team size: 5-8, left to the discretion of the team driver.

Good sportsmanship will prevail. Please respect your fellow participants and others that may be using the trail at the same time, i.e. property owners, snowmobilers, etc. Please respect the volunteers of this event. Since this is not a race, no times will be kept and no awards will be given for order of finish.

Sashes with numbers will be distributed at registration. These will be used to identify that all teams have safely made it through road crossings. Please wear them on the outside of your clothing. We ask that you also yell out your number to the road crossing personnel so they can cross you off the “passed through safely” list.

This run will have a sourdough start. Mushers will be in their sleeping bags with their boots off. When the gun goes off, they will put on their boots and hitch up their teams before “pulling the hook” and heading down Gunflint Lake. Dogs can be harnessed and bootied before the start. For the safety of the other teams and volunteers, all participants will follow the trail as marked.

Skijor teams will start at 10:00 at the Cross River on the Gunflint Trail and run appx. 3.5 miles to Gunflint Pines Resort.

Mandatory Gear: Your bags will not be checked prior to the start. However, if you have cable in your gangline, a cable cutter should be on your person. At check-in participants will be required to sign a release of liability form.

Let’s have fun and raise money for a good cause!
