Day of Race Sign In

start feathered

Each racer must see the Race Officials at the Race HQ and "officially" sign-in to declare their division (mode of transportation). Sign in will begin at 7:15AM.

Any racer who has not signed in by 8:45AM must wait until after the race start to sign in.

Race starts at 9:00am


Age

All racers must be 18 years old by the day of the race unless approved by the Board of Directors.

Dogs

Any racer with a dog on the course will be disqualified. Please do not bring your pets to the race! The race start/finish is at Happy Trails Kennels – this is a working Iditarod dog team kennel. We are guests of this business and must be considerate!

Phone Calls

We know you have friends and family who want to track your progress during the race. Please ask them to do so via the website, which will be updated with results throughout the race if weather and conditions allow. During the race, our phones are used to contact checkpoints and facilitate racer safety. If a true emergency arises, and someone must contact a racer or race personnel, then this number may be used: 907-232-2553. In the history of the race, only four or five such situations have arisen. Events such as death in the family or imminent birth of a child come to mind. Arranging post-race transportation is NOT an emergency.

Please do not call any of the checkpoints including Happy Trails Kennel or EagleQuest Lodge.
