Freeway takes fast track through frosty forest

Freeway, a Siberian husky, was in his element during a weekend of races hosted by the Canterbury Sled Dog Club in Eyrewell Forest.

Club spokesman Aaron Anderson said the dogs raced in minus 5deg temperatures in the forest and "loved it".

About 50 handlers and about 250 dogs took part in races which varied between 9km and 3.6km in length. Teams from all over the South Island came to the event which is part of the national circuit of sled dog races.
