Photos: Fur Rondy sled dog races start with fanfare and slushy conditions in downtown Anchorage
Snow is flung into the air as Fairbanks musher Wendy Callis’ dog team crosses the starting line on Fourth Avenue in downtown Anchorage during the first day of the Fur Rendezvous World Championship Sled Dog Races on Friday, Feb. 25, 2022.
Nearby, at the intersection of West 15th Avenue and Cordova Street, a team of volunteers spent the afternoon shoveling snow from sidewalks onto the middle of the road to ensure the pavement remained covered for the teams. The sprint mushing teams will travel the same 25-mile route across Anchorage again on Saturday and Sunday for a total of 75 miles. They are competing for $60,000 in prizes. Each race starts at noon in downtown Anchorage at Fourth Avenue and D Street.
