The Can-Am Crown is an international sled dog race held annually in Fort Kent, Maine, and usually takes place the first Saturday in March (which is also the day the Iditarod Trail begins).
The organization was founded on October 16, 1992 as a non-profit corporation for the purpose of establishing a long-distance sled dog race.
[2][3][4] The race begins on Main Street in Fort Kent, sloping underneath the international bridge to Canada, then extending into the western parts of the Allagash wilderness, and finishes back in Fort Kent.
[5] Competitors travel from throughout the United States and Canada to compete in the sled dog race.
[6] Minnesota musher Ryan Anderson won the 250 mile race in 2012, completing the trail in 31 hours, 22 minutes and 16 seconds.
