The 2015 Open North American Classic kicked off yesterday afternoon here in Fairbanks. Referred to by some as the Super Bowl of mushing, it has been a highlight of spring in the Fairbanks community for 70 years and is the longest running dog sled race in the world. Unlike the thousand mile trails and slow pace of the Yukon Quest and Iditarod, the Open North American consists of three 20 mile heats over a three day period centered solely around speed. The race historically runs through the streets of downtown, however warm temperatures and rapidly melting snow forced the race to move up into the hills.
