Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Tomorrow Britain's second husky racing championships, organised by the British Sled Dog Racing Association, kick off on the Norfolk-Suffolk border. The opening round of the Baker's Complete British Championship series of six races takes place at Brandon Park, where more than 70 teams of dogs and drivers will compete on forest trails over courses between 2 1/2 and six miles in three categories based on the number of huskies pulling a rig. The terrain in Brandon Park is undulating and no snow is forecast. The huskies, however, perform more efficiently on dry ground, pulling wheeled rigs. Sleds will be used if more wintry conditions prevail as the series continues into the New Year.
How to get there: Brandon Park, Brandon, Suffolk, is on A1065 north of Mildenhall. Leave A11 at Barton Mills, north-east of Newmarket. Starting times for tomorrow and Sunday (teams leave at three-minute intervals): 9am: B class (4-6 dogs). 10.30am: C class (3 or 4 dogs). 12.30pm: D class (2 dogs). Racing finishes at 3.30pm.
