Breaking News! Venue Change

We are delighted to announce this change of venue!

You're invited to head over the Rail Trail on Saturday February 3 and join the fun.

The 2007 Park City Winterfest Celebration kicks off Saturday, February 3, with the International Pedigree Stage Stop Sled Dog Race.


Mushers from around the world are racing to Park City from Jackson, Wyoming, and the final stage of the race will take place in Park City along the Historic Union Pacific Rail Trail from noon to 2:00 pm, Saturday, February 3.

The Race Start Area located near the Rail Trail Head in Parking Lot G at 1801 Prospector Avenue will be filled with mushers, their sleds, and over 450 dogs eager to run.

The atmosphere will be festive with live music, merchandise for sale, information booths, and give-aways, too! The race starts at noon so get there early for a chance to meet the mushers and their dogs. A Junior Musher Race with students from various middle and high schools in Wyoming and Utah (including students from Park City’s Ecker Hill Middle School) will follow from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Parking is free and plentiful so pack a lunch, bring some sunglasses, and enjoy a unique opportunity to see sled dog racing in your own backyard.

See you there! This race ends at the Promontory Trail Head so there are lots of locations to set out your lawn chair and watch the fun!
