WARM LAKE, Idaho — Clayton Perry from Power, Montana is the winner of the 52-mile Idaho Sled Dog Challenge Warm Lake Stage Race. Craig Anderson from Enterprise, Oregon won second place and Trace Drake from San Angelo, Texas took third.
The 52-mile race was the only one held this year due to poor weather conditions and little snow.
"Trail conditions have rapidly deteriorated over the last several days with above-freezing temperatures and rain," race founder and organizer Jerry Wortley said. "According to weather forecasts, conditions will continue to get worse, making the trails unsafe for the dogs and their mushers."
