The Can-Am Crown International Sled Dog Races, the longest sled dog race in eastern US, has been canceled due to lack of snow in northern Maine.

The longest sled dog race in the eastern United States, the Can-Am Crown International Sled Dog Races, has been canceled due to a lack of snow in northern Maine. This annual event, which includes a 250-mile race that is the marquee sled dog race in New England, has been held for over three decades. However, this year's race cannot proceed because of below-average snowfall and unseasonably warm weather, which would make running the races unsafe and compromise the well-being of the mushers and their dogs.
