You asked and we listened. Not everyone is looking to chase a podium, beat the clock, or race against the pack. Sometimes you just want to harness up, hit the trail, and have some fun with your dogs. And we think there should be a place for that! . This year, Dopamine Dog Sports is excited to introduce our FUN RUN class. This is an opportunity for recreational mushers to come out, experience the course, and enjoy the sport without the pressure of a formal race.
