Trappers Trail: Spitsbergen’s biggest dog sledge event
This weekend (April 05/06) it’s time again for Spitsbergen’s biggest dog sledge event, the famous Trappers Trail race. This time, records have been broken before the race even started: No less than 22 teams with 38 mushers and 199 dogs have signed in to participate. This is an all time record until now. The Trappers Trail race is an annual event since 2009.
As the weather forecast is pretty good – overcast, but little wind – the teams, organisers and visitors are looking forward to a great dog sledge weekend. The route is on Saturday from Longyearbyen via Todalen and Bødalen to Kapp Laila, where Longyearbyen Hundeklubb has got a hut, where the particpants will stay until Sunday. The route back is going through Fardalen and up the rather steep slope to the pass over to Longyearbreen. The total distance is 75 kilometres.
Good trip! Looking forward to it …!
Just after the start of the Trappers Trail in Longyearbyen (2013)..
