IFSS World Championships (WCh)

IFSS held the first World Championships (WCh) in Saint Moritz, Switzerland in 1990 with classes in only Nome Sprint (10-Dog, 8-Dog, and 6-Dog) and Nordic Pulka for men and women. One hundred thirteen competitors arrived in the starting chutes to mark the momentous occasion. At first World Championships were held each year, but after the 1995 events, it was decided to hold them every two years, which facilitated the bidding process and enabled the host organization more time for preparation. As the world of sled dog sports changed, IFSS also added classes and styles to the World Championships to diversify and become more inclusive of the worldwide trends and developments. Mid-Distance events were first included in the 2001 World Championships, taking place in Marquette (Michigan) USA in conjunction with the UP 200 Midnight Run Race. Dryland racing saw its first showing in Ravenna, Italy, in 2003.
