Dune Musher's Mail Run

Sled dogs hit the sand — no snow required — at the Dune Musher's Mail Run near North Bend and Coos Bay. This one-of-a-kind event sends dog teams across the Oregon Dunes in a nod to old-time mail delivery, and it's a thrilling sight to behold.

Cheer on the mushers and their hardworking hounds in a spectacle you'll find nowhere else on the coast. The vast Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area is a wonder in its own right — make a weekend of it with dune tours, beach walks, and the scenic charm of Oregon's Bay Area.
