Results provided by Stan Flagg, Can-Am Crown Races
Conditions:
The Can-Am Crown races were a great success this year, with a total of 84 teams entering the three races. Trails, signs, maps and organization received rave reviews in spite of the weather vagaries, which we haven’t yet been able to control. The 8:00 a.m. start for the 60-milers brought them into the finish between 1:50p.m. and 7:16p.m., two hours earlier than the usual 10:00 a.m. start, which was greatly appreciated by sweeps, crossing guards, and spectators. With a 9:00 a.m. start time, the 30-milers finished between 12:17p.m. and 3:32p.m. The 10th anniversary of the 250-mile race saw mushers departing from a snow-covered Main Street in Fort Kent at 10:00a.m., racing over 61 miles of excellent trails, and arriving at the first checkpoint (Crooked Tree Lodge in Portage Lake, Maine) between 4:16p.m. and 8:17p.m.
Race day, Saturday, March 2, 2002, opened with sunny skies and temperatures in the single numbers, rising to the mid 20's later in the day. Considered scant in this part of the country, the two feet of snow on the ground was enough to form excellent trails on most of the course. Rising temperatures and briefly heavy rains on Sunday night dampened the enthusiasm of some of the 250-milers, but by Monday morning temperatures had dropped back to the teens and trails were hard and fast. Of the 24 entries in the CAC250, eight scratched for various reasons, including sick mushers and sick dogs.
