LEBAROD 2010 - Sunday March 7, 2010 (NO SNOW)

CANCELED DUE TO TRAIL CONDITIONS

What is Lebarod? It is a fun mini-middle distance event that has had great success in previous years, a social/fun get together and a great way to close out the season. A 5-6-8-9 mile trails will be set out ( familiar to most of us & maps will be provided).

PLEASE NOTE:  JSSDRA would like everyone attending, to bring a donation for a local animal shelter that we would like to help out.  We all know what shelters need, but here is a short list of most needed items. Dog and cat food (both canned and dry), sturdy dog toys (such as kong and rope toys), towels, blankets, bleach and other cleaning supplies and of course cash is always good. Jersey Sands will also make a cash donation.

PLEASE NOTE: NJ State Forest Service prohibits the use of stoves on the trail . Please plan to pack lunch or snacks that require no cooking!

Reminder : This is not a race, so try to keep your dogs at an easy pace, so you can do a longer distance than in a sprint race. Rest and water your dogs if they show signs of fatigue.

Be patient, do not run into other teams: work things out among each other. Try to avoid leap frog situations. You are better off having faster teams up-front, to avoid dog or people confrontations.

The NJ Pine lands are home to some of the greatest dry land mushing trails in the east. The intent of this event is to go as far as possible at a comfortable pace.

There will be some checkpoints where you can rest, water and snack your dogs. If you so decide you may go on, or quit at any time. When at a checkpoint., there will be handlers to help with watering etc.

Since a lot of people are involved organizing this event.

  PRE-REGISTRATION IS A MUST BY February  29.  This will enable us to contact you in case of cancellation. Please e-mail Jay Frock  jay and lori@hotmail.com with your team size. Entry fee will be collected at the event.
