The Bachelor Butte Dog Derby is a return to racing sled dogs in the Cascade mountains near Bend/Sunriver, Oregon. The event is a trophy race scheduled for March 5-7, 2010 at Wanoga sno-park. This is an opportunity to experience the splendor of the the Cascades and contest one's dog team on world class terrain. The courses will be challenging and the classes offered somewhat nostalgic.
The short course is a 4.25 mile loop that features some climbing; tight, downhill turns, a mile long straight-away, and a dramatic otter slide hill into the finish at Wanoga. This will be a 5-dog maximum for sprint teams and a separate 2-dog skijour event.
The middle distance course is 22.5 miles of beautifully groomed trails and promises to be different...this is to be an open class event! Mushers can start with as few as six swifts in tow and hook-up as many as they can safely control. As teams depart Wanoga sno-park they will climb the otter slide that is trail #4 and climb for about 4 miles. At trail #25 the teams will descend for 6 miles through junctions and tree tunnels and circumnavigate Wanoga Butte. The return is a climb up trail #25 and 4 miles of mostly downhill to the finish.
The distance course is 175 miles and guarentees ample challenge to mushers and their teams. With the right weather mushers will enjoy views of Bachelor and the Cascades from every angle. The course follows the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway from Mt. Bachelor to Crescent sno-park where mushers will spend a mandatory six hours plus differential. Along the way there will be switchbacks, a tour through the high country and Triangle Buttes, and inbound and outbound summits of Kwolh Butte. Additional checkpoints will include Edison sno-park and Elk Lake Resort. The idea of this race is to encourage mushers to make a transition to distance dog driving. And while the course is not short on challenge the rewards are sure to be great.

3/4/2010: Change in Schedule!
- 5-dog Sled starts at 9:00 AM
- SkiJor at 10 minutes after the last 5-dog leaves the chute (approx 9:20)
- OPEN class will be starting at 10:00 AM.
2/26/2010: Due to somewhat icy trail conditions, the trail committee has elected to run all sprint class trails in a counter-clockwise direction. This change will have the teams leaving the chute and climbing UP the otter slide. The finish, though still downhill, will be much more gradual with far less potential for issues.
2/25/2010: (Bino Fowler) The philosophy behind the dog derby is a reckoning to the past...kinda like an old-fashioned dog race. The fundamental principals behind the event this year are simplicity, safety and success. Mushers' concerns for quality, safe trail are valid and understood by the race committee. That said, I am allowing drivers to use discretion in the open and distance classes, sprinters should do the same. A two-dog maximum for the skijour contest does not mean that one must hook two dogs to the traces. One "really fast sprint dog" should be ample draft animal for a 5-mile course; and moving the tugline to the collar of one's sleddog may increase one's control for the very brief descent into the finish at Wanoga. An "otter slide" , in my thoughts, is a 100-300' descent that may lack control in certain conditions or with too many swifts in tow. If it sounds too wild for one's ambitions, then it probably is. This skijour course may appeal more to those who want longer skijour courses. When I descibed the open course as "beautifully groomed trails" and the distance trail as "ample challenge to mushers and their teams", these same terms hold true to the short course. The sprint course is not flat and has all the characteristics of the distance trail, but no switchbacks. There are uphills/downhills and tight turns on both. Snowmobile trails #3 & #4 are groomer-width trails. we are working with the local grooming snowmobile clubs to widen a couple of the turns at specific junctions.
I am confident that Central Oregon Sno-Busters, the grooming entity in the Wanoga area, will prepare a fantastic trail the Wed/Thurs before the event. We do not expect them to groom between days of the event, as yet. the trail conditions have been icy in the morning and slushy in the PM. Yesterday (2/24) there was 5-7" on top of approximately 24" base. Should make for really nice trail when buffed-out. If the weather cooperates and does not rain, I expect great snow quality for the first Saturday in March.
