Here are the results for Saturday’s race at Byllesby Dryland Derby & Weight Pull 2025

Hey folks,

Here is the long awaited chute times for the 2025 Byllesby Dryland Derby! If you are registered to race, you should have received an email with parking information, but if not, that information is below. See you all soon!

Parking at Byllesby:

1. If your largest team is a 4 dog team or less and do not have a trailer, please park in the campground parking lot. This is adjacent to the campground office and indicated on the map with a red #1.  

2. If your largest team is a 4 dog team or less and have a trailer, please feel free to use the campsites. The campsites 75-83 are the most convenient to access the trail. This area is marked with a blue #2

For those parking in the campgrounds, please note the trail adjacent to the camp office which will take you to the race course. It will be marked with signage on site. There will be ATVs on site to assist the rigs in making it to the starting line safely as well as a road guard at the road crossing to ensure that crossing remains safe for teams. 

3. If your largest team is a 6 dog team, you will park at the north trailhead (marked with a purple 3 on the map).This area is indicated with a purple #3. 

4. Volunteers and spectators: please park in the lot to the southwest of the of the trailhead, indicated with a green #4. Please note there is a very limited number of handicap spots at the trailhead itself next to the 6 dog teams. 

Weight Pullers only: you can park with the smaller teams or with the spectators. Be prepared for a bit of a walk to the chute – there will be a spot near the weight pull chute to stage crates if your dog requires crating between rounds. 

Race registration for the 2025 Byllesby Dryland Derby is now officially closed. Thank you to all who signed up. We are looking forward to a fantastic weekend of competition!
