	This ISDRA sanctioned event is presented by the New England Sled Dog Club, Inc., which introduced the sport of sled dog racing to New Hampshire in 1924. The Purity Spring Classic is the final event of the NESDC season.

Purity Spring’s groomed Nordic trail system will set the race course for the mushers and teams, who will start and finish across from King Pine Ski Area.

Most of the races will be held around Purity Lake however, the 8-dog Pro and the 12 to 16-dog “Open” class will go as far as Purity’s Danforth Bay Camping & RV Resort in Freedom, NH.

The 2-day event will run between 9 A.M. and 3 P.M. on Saturday and Sunday, depending on the amount of teams registered.

Food and souvenirs will be available in the staging area located across from King Pine Ski Area. Admission to the event is free for spectators and numerous viewing areas around Purity lake are available by snowshoe or nordic skis.
