Revisit the information about the changes of the race at the website: http://www.beavertraptrail.nu/good-to-know/btt-celebrates-20-years-changes-in-the-competition/?lang=en

This year it is 20 years since the first Beaver Trap Trail was completed. Over time, the competition has developed into an established event in the sled dog world. Today, BTT, as the competition is called in everyday speech, consists of several competitions in both mid-distance and long-distance. We pride ourselves on maintaining a family atmosphere in which all dog breeds are welcome.

As much as it would be wonderful to celebrate our 20 years with a big party, we decided that it is most important to be able to celebrate. Given the continuous ups and downs of restrictions during the pandemic these past two years, we have decided to make some changes in the race to make sure that the race will go on and so will the celebration, even if the restrictions return. The changes reflect a care for all the BTT participants, the race officials, and the village of Norråker.

We have reached our limit for participants for the long distance race BTT350 and BTT250. For BTTClassic there is still space. No limits there…

If you still would like to have a chance to join you may send an e-mail to rickard@beavertraptrail.se and you will be in out “waiting line”. We mark the date and time when the e-mail is received as you queue number. If there is a spot available we will contact the person in line and ask if they will join. Then the starting fee should be payed. NOTE do not pay anything until you are asked to do so when you are waiting for a spot.

Registration and payment will open first of October. But already you may go there and see who stayed on the list from last years attempt of the race.Go there right now and check it out https://racetracker.no/events/2022/beaver-trap-trail/

The planing for BTT 2022 has begun. After two years of waiting we will have the race in 2022. The race dates are March 24 through 26. BTT 350 and BTT 250 will ha status of Swedish Championship.  There is a lot to do and update before the race. The information on this web will be updated during the fall. We will make some “corona-changes” to make it as safe as possible. Please follow us on Facebook and check the web for updates. We hope to meet you in March!

It is very heavy to have to announce that we must cancel  Beaver Trap Trail 2021 and the Swedish Championships long distance. The decision has been made together with the Swedish Sleddog Sports Association and is based on the general spread of covid -19 and current recommendations with groups of a maximum of 8 people, this does not allow us to do preparatory work and to be able to offer a corona safe environment for our volunteers and participants. We also need to take consideration to the local population and help as much as possible to prevent further spread.

 

The organization will as soon as possible contact all registered participants by email to clarify any refund of start fee or if you wish to save for the fee until 2022.

Upon refund, 4% is deducted in fees that we already had in connection with the registration.

 

Finally, we apologize for the participants’ possible extra hassle with this decision and hope you come again next year.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank all sponsors, partners and officials for the fantastic work you have already done and the support we have received, and of course we welcome you to help / support next year.
