Dear Musher,

The 2012 Kuskokwim 300 Sled Dog Race is fast approaching! This year the K300 is scheduled to start on Friday, January 20th 2012 at 6:30 PM. We hope you will join us this year! Sign up begins now! Mushers are encouraged to sign up early. Race start position is chosen in order of sign up at the pre-race Musher Drawing.

As always, participating in the K300 is a unique experience unlike any other sled dog race in the world. The K300 Race Committee arranges host housing for our out-of-town mushers and truck support to and from the airport as well as to and from the race start and finish. The K300 is the premier middle distance dog sled race in the world with one of the highest purses per mile in all of dog sled racing. In 2011, the K300 had a purse of over $104,000.00.

The 2012 entry fee is $400 plus $100 for the K300 Mile membership fee. Late entries (received after Jan. 1, 2012) will be $800 plus the K300 Mile.
