Come and cheer the racers on at the Warm Lake Stage Race of the Idaho Sled Dog Challenge! Join us on Thursday, January 29th at 11am and on Friday, January 30th at 10am to cheer on the racers, and January 31st at 10am at the NoBo Hotel parking lot to meet the musher and the sled dogs! The race is based out of the North Shore Lodge at Warm Lake, approximately 26 miles east Cascade, Idaho. The Lodge has cabins available, a cafe, bar, and small grocery / sundry store.

The Warm Lake Stage Race is a 2-day 52-mile race, 26 miles each day. Team standings are determined by combining finish times for both days. The trail starts and finishes at North Shore Lodge.

For spectators, it is a chance to see teams up close and share the raw enthusiasm of the teams as they leave the chute; it is simply impossible not to smile. While the teams make their way on the 26-mile course, spectators can relax inside the North Shore Lodge for a meal in the cozy and rustic setting, chat with several organizers of the ISDC while they watch the live tracker or head out for a snowshoe, cross country ski or some ice fishing.
