©2026 LAKE MINNETONKA KLONDIKE DOG DERBY & OSTROM CREATIVE

The Lake Minnetonka Klondike Dog Derby is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The mission of the Lake Minnetonka Klondike Dog Derby was to create a world-class sled dog race to serve as a genuine celebration of the sport and spirit of the authentic North; an opportunity for education on the incredible athleticism and passion of sled dogs and mushers; and a tribute to the history of sled dog racing in Excelsior and the Lake Minnetonka area. After only 3 successful races in 8 years due to unreliable weather conditions, the Klondike Dog Derby was officially retired in June of 2026.
