The Can-Am Crown International Sled Dog Races, the longest sled dog race in the eastern United States, has been canceled due to a lack of snow and unfavorable weather conditions in northern Maine. The event, which normally draws thousands of spectators and tourism dollars to the region, has been impacted by below-average snowfall and unseasonably warm temperatures. Organizers are hopeful to bring back the races next year, as the event is considered a tradition that celebrates the bond between mushers and their sled dogs, as well as the rugged beauty of Maine's winter landscape.
