Show up at 11:30 a.m.. We mush at 12:00 p.m., sharp.

In the Alaskan Iditarod, more than sixty dog sled teams race across the frozen tundra from Anchorage to Nome. In our urban version, teams of ‘dogs’ lead by a musher will pull their sleds (shopping carts) through some of Portland’s most scenic areas. These teams of barking humans must negotiate through the unrelenting and unforgiving dangers of Portland’s urban frontier.

The Preserve is a tranquil sanctuary for both people and animals. The quiet open waters, rolling meadows and upland ash and fir woods are homes to thousands of ducks and geese, deer, otters, beavers, herons and eagles. Song birds and small mammals, as well as salamanders and rare wetland plants, are dependent on the marshes of the Preserve. Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve is a natural oasis that will become more and more precious as this area’s population density continues to intensify.
