About Us
Located in the heart of the Klondike, the Dawson City Dog Sports Club is constituted of a small group of volunteers, who are dog powered sports enthusiasts that are committed to keeping the Spirit of the North alive through year-round events, education and trail-blazing ventures.
What We Do
From the frost of winter to the dusty trails of summer, we organize a variety of events designed to challenge teams and showcase the incredible bond between humans and canines. Whether it’s mushing, skijoring, bikejoring, kicksledding or canicross, our club provides a platform for both competitive athletes and recreational enthusiasts to hit the trails.
Why We Gather
Heritage:
Preserving the history of dog powered sports in the Yukon.
Community:

“Whether you have a team of 20 or just one high-energy companion, there is a place for you on the trails!”
Join us as we continue to run the trails that shaped the North. Whether you’re looking to volunteer, compete, or simply cheer from the start and finish line, we’d love to have you!

Our signature Event:
The Percy DeWolfe Memorial Mail Race
We are the proud organizers of the legendary Percy DeWolfe Memorial Mail Race. Following the historic route established by “The Iron Man of the North” in 1910, this race is more than just a competition; it is a tribute to the endurance and grit required to deliver mail between Dawson City, Yukon, and Eagle, Alaska.
