MONSTER DOG PULL

Sunday, February 25, 2024, at Alpine Village in McCall
1:00pm – 3:00pm

Join us for the most dog-gone fun event of Winter Carnival! Dogs will race on a short track while pulling a weighted sled. Dogs compete in different weight classes for Top Dog! The top three from each weight class get a prize. This event is just for fun, so no experience is necessary. All equipment is provided.

Want to race? Registration is just $20 per dog. Please bring cash! It will help move the line faster. The dog will need to be weighed at the time of registration, so be sure to bring your pooch! Registration is on Sunday at Alpine Village from 12:45am-2:30pm. Races end at 3pm.

Want to watch? This is a very fun event for spectators. Please keep in mind that spots up front get the best view, so be kind and rotate out so other folks get a chance to see.
