Authorities of Kamchatka and Chukotka started to prepare for joint sled dog race
The first meeting of work group about merger of sled dog races “Beringia” (Kamchatka) and “Nadezhda” (Chukotka) in 2018 took place in the capital of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug – Anadyr.

The primary task is to make a route, which specialists are going to pass in 2017. They need to determine the route with rest stops in order to prepare the most comfortable and safest way for participants of 2018 race. Since the part of the route will pass through uninhabited areas, it is necessary to define time and places for delivery of fuel, food and feed.

Traditional extreme Kamchatka sled dog race “Beringia” has taken place since 1990. “Nadezhda” race has taken place since 1991.
