WILLOW —According to race organizer and director Christine Stitt, the Willow 300 sled dog race has been canceled due to poor weather conditions and too much overflow on the trails. It looks like warm weather and heavy amounts of water have made the course unsafe.

The Willow 300 is one of several races mushers can enter to qualify for the Iditarod and Yukon Quest races. The Willow 300 is also one of multiple sled dog races that were forced to cancel this year due to poor trail conditions.
