The U.P. 200 sled dog race has been around for 25 years in Marquette, and it’s not going anywhere, as it seems to be turning into an even bigger draw to mushers and visitors.
 
Excerpt: For twenty-five years, mushers and their teams have endured the UP 200 and its scenic trail that runs along the frozen shore of Lake Superior, from Marquette to Grand Marais and back. For the mushers, it’s a chance to test their dogs in the Iditarod qualifying race. For the spectators, it’s a time to enjoy the wintry weather and local culture of this Upper Peninsula city.
