The 2026 Pedigree Stage Stop Sled Dog Race continued on February 1, 2026 in Pinedale, Wyoming, where mushers and dog teams tackled 35 miles on groomed trails through the Bridger Teton National Forest from the Green River Lakes trailhead.

Anny Malo from Quebec, Canada, captured today’s stage with a winning time of 2:08:42. Malo will wear the yellow bib for Stage 3, in Big Piney on Tuesday, February 2nd. Trail conditions today remained favorable and firmer than Saturday’s resulting in faster times for top teams.
