I don't know why Sled Racing isn't a part of the Winter Olympics.

Anchorage, Alaska
Photographer states :: A matched set. Participants in the Fur Rondy Open World Championship Sled Dog Race. (click title to entry - thank you) 3 days of action along the main streets and back country of Anchorage where mushers go 25 miles each day for a chance at some of the $80,000 in prize money. Be sure and watch the video as they are outbound coming down Cordova Hill, which at the end of the day they have to 'go back up it'.
