Canadian Challenge Sled Dog Race
Adventure Destinations International and Thompson’s Resort is a proud sponsor of the Canadian Challenge sled dog race. The Canadian Challenge is Canada's premier dog sled race and a Yukon Quest & Iditarod qualifier. The race follows a route similar to that of the old sled dog trail used for years by trappers, the Northwest Mounted Police, and the First Nations community to travel between Prince Albert and La Ronge. Over the years, the Canadian Challenge has obtained the recognition of being a world-class sporting event and is the nation's longest sled dog, which starts, runs, and finishes in Canada. The race has attracted teams from across Canada, the United States, Australia, Germany, Serbia, and Belgium. Make sure to book your stay at Thompson's Resort to watch parts of the race and interact with mushers and the sled dogs!
