Join host Michele Forto as she presents a brief history of Team and Trail™

Team and Trail is a historic sled dog racing publication that played a major role in the growth of the sport. It was started by Dick Molburg and later taken over by Cindy Molurg, who became the editor and publisher. The Molburgs were instrumental in the formation of the International Sled Dog Racing Association (ISDRA) and the standardization of rules and racing events. After Cindy's passing, Team and Trail sat dormant until it was acquired by Robert Forto and Michele Forto in 2023. They plan to preserve the history of the publication and bring it up to date for future generations.
