Attention mushers and mushing fans! The UP200 is hosting the 9th annual UP200 Dryland Dash on October 11 and 12, 2025! This free-for-spectators event will start at 9am each day at Negaunee Township Park.

There will be races for wheeled rigs, scooters, bikes and cani-cross with 1, 2, 4 and 6-dog teams, all competing on a beautiful two-mile loop. After the events, the two-day times will be totaled to determine winners of the cash purse.

Spectators can watch these amazing canine athletes, and their human partners compete for a share of the prizes against the beautiful fall backdrop of the park. Don’t miss out– come enjoy all the excitement of sled dog races without snow or ice!
