The Can-Am Crown organization was established in 1992 to provide a mid-distance sled dog race to a growing community of mushers from throughout North America and to enhance the region’s image as a travel destination. The Can-Am Crown 250 (an Iditarod & Yukon Quest qualifying race) has rapidly gained popularity as the longest and most challenging race in the eastern United States. In the Greater Fort Kent area, Can-Am Weekend has also grown into a weekend full of activity for participants and spectators alike. Races are scheduled annually around the first weekend of March.
