Congratulations to all racers who participated in the 2013 Goretex Dogtooth Dash. The weather made it a challenging day but the athletes showed their grit and battled it out to the finish.
I’d like to thank again our sponsors Goretex, Hammer Nutrition and Kicking Horse Mountain Resort as well as all of our hearty volunteers, this race isn’t possible without their countless man(&woman) hours put in behind the scenes. My endless gratitude to you.
The Dogtooth Dash just got a hell of a lot bigger!!! For our fifth year we’ve teamed up with Goretex and will be hosting the Continental Championships, should be the biggest event yet!
The dates for this years race are March 16th & 17th. Modeled after the popular European multi day events, our 2013 race will offer multiple race formats and courses for a festival style weekend of racing. Proudly brought to you by the Golden Skimountaineering team in partnership with Goretex and Kicking Horse Mountain Resort.
