Organizers have canceled this 12 months’s Can-Am Crown sled canine race in Fort Kent lower than per week earlier than it was set to begin, citing the restricted snow on the bottom and rain that’s anticipated this week.
“This difficult decision comes after careful consideration of the current weather patterns that have left our trails without sufficient snow coverage,” the organizers said on Facebook on Sunday night time. “The forecast has taken a turn for the worst and we are now expecting heavy rain and a period of unseasonably warm weather causing trail conditions to deteriorate rapidly.”
The 250-mile race had been scheduled for March 1-5.
