Gold Rush Trail Sled Dog Mail Run
February 7 - February 9
Where sled dog teams travel wilderness trails between Quesnel, Wells & Barkerville over three days – Feb 7-9, 2025
The picture featured in this year’s mail run is a beautiful photograph taken by Pat Suter of his great niece Nevada Jones from a previous event.
The Gold Rush Trail Sled Dog Mail Run is living history for the past 33 years. Our dedicated mushers and their dog teams will again be sworn in as official mail carriers and will carry Canada Post mail in their dog sleds over the Gold Rush Trail to Barkerville.
Please support this special year by purchasing unique Mail Run envelopes that are sold from this website or at local outlets, stamped “Carried by Dog Team” and hand cancelled by volunteers in Quesnel, Wells and Barkerville, the three post offices along the route. Once delivered to Barkerville, this mail enters the regular mail system for delivery anywhere in the world.
