They were organized first as Montana’s Governor’s Cup Sled Dog Race in 1986 and they ran the first 500 mile race in February of that year. In 1989, they became Montana Sled Dog, Inc.  Each February since then, MSDI has been hosting this distance race. It has gone through several distance changes, including adding a 250 mile race, a 300 mile race and changing the 500 mile race to a 350 mile continuous format race. The Race is also an Iditarod qualifier and has been since 1986.  There have been many changes over the past almost 30 years but one things remains eternal—the desire of the sled dogs to run!  We use multi-use trails and once the dogs start, they are quiet and focused on their job.  It’s what they are born to do.
