Race Time



The races in areas with snow are in progress. The Kusko 300 in Bethel, AK is on hold for the third day because of minus 60 degree windchills/temps, in order to protect dogs, mushers, vets and volunteers on trail. It is now rescheduled for today if temps settle down. The Klondike 300 , AK did get under way. Wisconsin races have had trouble getting started but the Shawano race was modified for Juniors and 4 dogs, but not ISDRA sanctioned.
Iditarod begins March 4th in Anchorage and travels the Northern Route this year. We will be there for the course of the race.
These are two photos from Rainy Pass in Iditarod, 2004. Will add Finger Lake from Iditarod 2005 on next update.
We did run on Saturday, Anna's racing team contenders, Ruthie, Buffy, Rosie and Kiddo and a second team, Frita, Liller, Yuki and Medio. The trails were nearly perfect under blue sky and just cool enough to run, but warming.
