Register now for the 2026 Campout Race!
The annual Campout Race will be our final purse race of the 2025-26 Season and the final event of the Delta Championship Series.
On Saturday, March 28, teams will leave from Bethel and mush to the camp location, approximately 42 miles from Bethel on the Gweek River. The trip to camp is not a race. Teams may depart from Bethel any time between 11am and 4pm and must follow the marked trail.
The race begins on Sunday, March 29 at 11:00 AM, when teams line up in the order they arrived at camp, and head for the finish line in Bethel. Trail details will be announced later this week.
The Rules:
1. The event will begin at 11AM Saturday March 22nd near the mouth of the small boat harbor.
2. Dog teams and camp crews will travel up (not race) to the camp location on the Gweek River.
3. Eight-dog limit; five dogs must be in harness at the end of the race. Teams will be able to drop dogs at the camp spot, and a designated spot along the trail. Dogs may not be added to a team after the Saturday start. Mushers must arrange for care and transportation of any dropped dogs.
4. The race will start on Sunday March 29 from camp at 11:00 AM. Teams will line up in the order in which they arrived in camp the previous day. (The first team to arrive in camp will be the first team on the trail, etc.)
5. General passing rules apply. No Man’s Land will be marked by a sign about 2 miles from the finish.
6. No pacing by snowmachine.
7. Excessive use of alcohol by mushers or handlers is not permitted.
8. The race purse will be $25,000 paid to the top 15 finishers.
9. Every sled must be equipped with a sled bag that can adequately and safely contain any dog who needs to be carried during the race. Anyone who races without a sled bag will receive an automatic penalty of $200.
10. Participants must be K300 Race Committee members ($100 annual membership).
Love the format. Since teams line up Sunday in the order they reached camp, Saturday’s “not a race” leg still quietly shapes the result: arrive early and you start up front, but push the dogs too hard and you pay for it on the way back. With the eight-dog limit and five required at the finish, it’s really a resource-management game over two days. I recently read something similar about pacing and sizing your effort to what you can sustain instead of going all-in early: https://paladarnegro.net/conoce-algunas-estrategias-poco-conocidas-para-apostar-efectivamente-en-el-futbol/ Good luck to all the teams on the Gweek River, and great to see the sled-bag rule keeping the dogs safe!

I liked the practical information about 10.0.0.1 piso wifi because Wi-Fi management involves more than simply connecting a device. Understanding available configuration options can help users organize their setup more effectively, while checking the specific equipment remains important before making changes.
