Mushers, teams compete to pay tribute to their late mentor, Jimmy Custer

A team of 10 sled dogs and a musher on a sled run down a snowy track on a frozen lake.

The Jimmy Custer Memorial Dog Race took place on Amisk Lake Feb. 14-15, not far from the Manitoba-Saskatchewan border. The race is held each year to honour the region’s rich history of sled dog teams and to pay tribute to the late musher Jimmy Custer.
