Update on CD150 and COVID-19
We are in communication with local and
state health departments regarding the
2021 CopperDog150 race. Under the current Covid-19
restrictions in place for the state of Michigan, CopperDog 150
may not be able to take place. As these restrictions change, we
are monitoring restriction changes and are moving forward in
the race planning process.
A final decision regarding the race will be made by February 3rd
to ensure all materials, lodging and expenses can be refunded if
necessary.
