Women Make History at This Year’s Can-Am Sled Dog Races!

Katherine Langlais has made history as the first woman to win the Can-Am Crown 250 competition, taking the lead after 48 hours of racing through forests and fields, across frozen lakes and rivers, and over the hills of the Upper Saint John Valley. Langlais, from Glenwood, New Brunswick, has been competing in the race for over a decade. This year marks the first time in the history of the competition that women won all three Can-Am Crown International Sled Dog races. Diane Marquis, who won the 30-mile race, and Florence Shaw, winner of the 100-mile race, both from Quebec City, joined Langlais in the winner's circle. The event marked the 30th anniversary of the race in Fort Kent, Maine. www.can-am-crown.net
