39th Annual Seguin Sled Dog Mail Run

Mark your calendar for Saturday, February 24 for the 39th annual Seguin Sled Dog Mail run! This is a beloved annual event that welcomes hundreds of local spectators as well as people from across the Parry Sound – Muskoka region.

The Seguin Sled Dog Mail Run has been running for 38 years. Every year since 1985, “sledvelopes” with letters prepared especially for this event, are gathered, loaded onto sleds and hauled by several dog teams to Rosseau, Ontario, 17 km through the bush on groomed trails.

Teams gather and leave from the Village of Humphrey, Ontario, on Highway 141, to the cheers and good wishes from the many spectators and friends as the teams disappear in the bush on their way to Rosseau to be received by the Postmaster. The “sledvelopes” are hand-stamped, a very old method of cancelling mail. These “sledvelopes” have become collector’s items all over the world.

Sledvelopes will be available for purchase starting Wednesday, January 10, 2024 at:

Seguin Public Libraries

Rosseau Post Office

Rosseau General Store

Humphrey Arena

Seguin Township Municipal Office

Each sldvelope is $3.50 each or $5.00 with a $1.50 donation to Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary.
