Musher Jonathan Hayes will attempt to go 261-mile backcountry through some of the most remote wilderness in Maine by the way of a team of 8 sled dogs. This expedition will recreate the distance run by legendary dog Togo and lead musher Leahnard Seppala almost 100 years ago as they raced to deliver the life-saving vaccine to the children of Nome Alaska. The dog Balto got the credit for the rescue because they finished the final 30 miles. But Togo and Seppala were the true heroes traveling a brutal 261 miles. And what many don't know is Togo retired right here in Maine at Poland Spring Resort where he started a kennel. And almost 100 years later with the descendants of Togo Jonathan Hayes will take on the True North of Maine! Take a seat and feel the cold wind rushing your face as he embarks on this life-changing adventure. Witness their determination as he attempts a 261-mile sled dog run honoring the legendary dog Togo!
