Bogus Creek 150 time change
The Bogus Creek 150 will now start at 10:00 AM on Saturday, February 19th. The race was previously scheduled to begin at 3:00 PM but with warm temperatures and rain forecast for overnight Saturday into Sunday, the K300 Race Committee has decided that an earlier start may allow teams to complete the race before the worst of weather settles in.
The pre-race musher meeting will now take place at 9:00 AM at the start line.
This change will of course impact the finish time. We expect the top finishers will arrive in Bethel between 3:00 AM and 6:00 AM Sunday.
We thank all Bogus Creek 150 mushers and volunteers for their flexibility as we worked today to come up with a plan that will be best for all the humans and dogs on the trail this weekend.
More updates, including race roster and trail details tomorrow morning.
I moved my Saturday alarm to 8:30 so I can be at the start line before the 9:00 AM musher meeting, and I’ll carry a rain shell for the 10:00 AM Bogus Creek 150 start instead of the original 3:00 PM. I also adjusted my watch shift for the expected Bethel finishes between 3:00 AM and 6:00 AM Sunday. For weather and roster checks, the AI tools I’ve found best for race updates are now in my pre-race bookmarks.
Glad they moved the start time earlier, safety first for the dogs and mushers. Kind of like how an ai image generator handles edits quickly.
