The festivities will begin each day at approximately 8:00 a.m. with a formal musher\u2019s meeting, followed by the thrilling sight of our largest 8-Dog teams launching from the start line at 9:30 a.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Kearney Dog Sled Races celebrate a cherished tradition, showcasing the historical and cultural importance of dog sledding in Canadian and Indigenous heritage. Over 100 teams will be racing in what has become a cornerstone festival for Ontario\u2019s &#8220;biggest little town.&#8221; By hosting this event, we aim to preserve the spirit of winter dog sports while educating families about the joy and camaraderie these activities bring to both canines and humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the races, the weekend features an array of family-friendly activities, including dog sled rides, games, contests, a silent auction, and a variety of local vendors. Our event not only provides memorable experiences for attendees but also significantly boosts our local economy. During race weekend, Kearney\u2019s population triples as competitors and spectators converge to celebrate this uniquely Canadian tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kearney Dog Sled Races Committee is delighted to be celebrating our 31st year, taking place on February 8th and 9th, 2025.
