QRILLPAWS brings the excitement, joy and extreme performance from the most exotic dog mushing races to a worldwide audience.
Learning from the elite – training, nutrition, welfare
QRILL PAWS is looking to inspire and influence regular, everyday dog owners — shining a light on the practices of elite dog mushers and the exceptional dog care they provide. The dog mushers will inspire and be a great example for dog owners around the world in regards to training, nutrition, general welfare and guidelines for their own dogs.
Rob Urbach, CEO of The Iditarod said: “We are proud to be a part of QRILL PAWS, along with the Femund Race and John Beargrease. With the investments in digital visualization technology and innovative television production, we have great confidence that we will be showcasing our sport in a more experiential and compelling way.”
Showcasing the Sport
"This sport has everything; interaction between dogs and humans, amazing Arctic settings, the challenges this extreme environment presents, the exotic places with ancient histories and rich cultural tapestries — all combined with the adventures of completing these races, will provide a magnificent product for audiences worldwide. For us, it will be important to show the joy the dogs have while racing down the trail and the competence these dog mushers embody,” says Matts Johansen of Aker BioMarine, the main sponsor behind the QRILL PAWS initiative.
