- **Event Name**: First Friday Hosted by Race to the Sky!
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 02 Jan, 2026 at 05:00 pm – Fri, 02 Jan, 2026 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: “Race to the Sky is the annual, long-distance, sled dog race. It challenges dog teams and mushers from many of the States, Canada, and other Countries. Many of the works show as they cross the Continental Divide through spectacular Montana scenery. The race is an Iditarod Qualifier and commemorates the World War Two Camp Rimini War Dog Reception and Training Center west of Helena and the dogs and mushers who were there.
The dogs are real athletes, and only make the team if they show the enthusiasm for distance running.  They bark and yip and jump until the command to "hike" is given, then they are all business! The only sounds are foot pats on the snow and the whoosh of sled runners as they take off up the trail into silence.  The musher depends on his/her dogs, especially lead dogs, as a team travels remote mountain trails from checkpoint to checkpoint. 

This collection of signed and limited edition prints showcases the visually stunning aspects of the sport.  Featured artists include Sharon Hiner, Jerry Inman, Judy Johnson, Steven Oiestad, Jeff Schultz, Mike Simpson, Alan Snell, Alex Worthy and Karen Williams-Williams.  These artists with two exceptions live and work in Montana.  If you like what you see, go to their websites and contact them!

Volunteers make the race possible, and if you have always wanted to get up close to this exciting sport please contact Race to the Sky at: racetothesky.org or (406)881-DOGS. Race to the Sky is organized by Montana Sled Dog Inc, a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit with a volunteer board of directors.  Sponsorship is always welcome!”
