The face of a champion tells all. The 39 year old from Glenwood, New Brunswick, crossed the finish line at Lonesome Pine Trails Ski Area in Fort Kent, Maine at 8:24 a.m. Monday, March 6th 2023. It was at that moment Katherine Langlais became the first female champion of the 250 Can-Am Crown International Sled Dog Race in program history.

30th Anniversary video of the Can-Am Crown International Sled Dog Races. At 250 miles, Maine's Can-Am Crown International Sled Dog Race is the longest and highest caliber race in the eastern United States. For the men and women who challenge themselves and their teams of dogs, it represents great adventure, accomplishments and reward. Starting and ending in beautiful downtown Fort Kent, mushers and dogs run the races through the remote northern Maine woods in Maine's Aroostook County.

About The Race:

The Can-Am Crown organization was founded on October 16, 1992 as a non-profit corporation under the laws of the State of Maine. It was established to provide a mid-distance sled dog race to a growing community of mushers from throughout the international region and to enhance the region's image as a travel destination. The Can-Am Crown 250 has rapidly gained popularity as the longest sled dog race in the eastern United States. Read the complete history of the race online at www.can-am-crown.net
