Insurance Policy
Each of the registrants must carry their own liability insurance with sufficient coverage to protect
themselves and the Swift Dog Sprint Race. The registration form will include a field for the registrant's
insurance broker and policy number. Each registrant must also sign a waiver indemnifying the Society
of any responsibility to the health and well being of the mushers, their assistants, their dogs or their
equipment.
As this event is being held primarily on privately owned land, the land owners will not be burdened
with any additional insurance coverage fees resulting from their consent to provide their land for this
use. Any additional insurance riders required by the individual private land owners will be paid by the
Swift Dog Sprint Race Society.
Mushers Meeting and Check in will be in the Seppala Siberian Tour Office located south on
range road 24 of highway 16. For those mushers that arrive Saturday morning there will be
a check in and brief mandatory meeting at the Race Site.
Please note the race times for each class may not be exactly as listed here. Many factors affect the
actual start time of each race class. The Race times outlined to the left are merely a guideline.
The race will utilize a single Start Chute and team racing teams will start at two (2) minute intervals.
This means that this race will consist of racing teams starting by themselves in the Start Gate. Each
team in each Class will start two (2) minute after the team ahead of them in the start order until all
teams in the Class have left the Start Gate. This race is entirely a timed event.
Banquet plates are $15, which can be purchased at the mushers meeting. All registration and waiver
papers can be emailed or filled out at musher check in.
