Sled Dogs on the Creeper Trail

Alaska Serum Run Re-enactment
Virgina, USA
January 14


I will be the featured speaker at the Winterfest Serum Run Re-enactment in Damascus, VA on Saturday January 16. The Serum Run starts at 10:00AM on the Virginia Creeper Trail and

will feature Siberian Huskies and all types of carts, bikes, sleds on wheels, etc as the group transports the “serum” package down the trail. The “serum” is handed from the steam locomotive to the first relay musher at 10:00AM and it is relayed to Watauga parking lot; that musher will relay to Alvarado Station and then on to the Iron Horse Campground… All mushers will then parade the 2.2 miles to the park in Damascus, ETA 12:15.
At the park in Damascus, there will be Alaska Lumberjack competition hosted by Virginia Tech Forestry Club. Also, Intermont Search and Rescue will do a presentation about searching for lost people. There will be a bonfire to keep warm provided at the park by the Town of Damascus. At 5:00 there is a Meet the Mushers event where I will auction mushing related items to benefit the Siberian Husky Assist Rescue Group and then there will be a buffet dinner at Quincy’s Restaurant about a block from the park.
