2009 GCI Open North American Championships

Some of the best sprint-mushers in the world came racing down the Chena River just outside our offices this afternoon. I thought you might like to have a look, so I grabbed a camera and headed down the river bank just in time to catch a few of the teams. Here’s how things looked on day 1 of the race:

The GCI Open North American Championships begin in the heart of downtown Fairbanks and have been run since 1946. The field of 18 this year includes many former champions and is continuing throughout the weekend. Stop by the starting line this Saturday or Sunday on Second Avenue, and if you have a chance walk down the street to the Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center and say hello.
