On average, a well-trained team can maintain speeds between 10 to 20 miles per hour (16 to 32 kilometers per hour) during a run. The speed of a dog sled can vary widely based on factors like the number of dogs, terrain, snow conditions, and the skill of the musher.

In recreational or touring setups like our activities use, it might range from 4 to 8 dogs. The number of dogs also depends on the size and strength of the individual animals and their ability to work together effectively as a team.
