The main race is a mid-distance, 25 mile race, run with 6 dogs. There are also skijoring races (a skier pulled by one or two dogs) The Village of Newboro, nestled on the shores of Newboro Lake was founded during the construction of the historic Rideau Canal (1827-1831). Over time the village thrived as a central transportation hub with the canal, train and stagecoach routes crossing at its doorstep. The first Rideau Cup Race was held in February 2008. It helped celebrate both Newboro and the designation of the Rideau Canal as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We invite competitors and spectators back in 2013 to join us in taking part in this exciting and fun filled event. Purse for the main mid-distance race is $6000 (see race page) Cash and other prizes for the other races The Rideau Cup Sled Dog Races and the Skijoring Races are accredited through the Federation of Sled Dog Sports Directions to Newboro: Located just off Highway 15, between Kingston and Smiths Falls.
