Hi all. Just wanted to let you know that the Yukon Flats race starts March 28, and of course we have the Kobuk 440 to look forward to April 14.

The Yukon Flats http://www.facebook.com/pages/David-Sal ... 0444574159 from what I can tell is a 300-mile race (though it's called the Yukon Flats 400.) This is an unofficial list of mushers: Vern Halter, Marilyn Storey, Norm Casavant,Mark May,Abbie West,Tonya Schlentner,Jessie Holmes,Josh Cadzow,Chester Fields,Thomas Lesatz,Joel Swisher,Jesse Bebe,Jodi Bailey,Clifton Carroll,Hugh Neff, Paul Gebhardt. (Still not sure about all this, so I may edit again)

The Kobuk 440 Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kobuk-440/240345216909) lists the following mushers who have signed up:
Hugh Neff
Louie Ambrose
Alex Otten
Mark Childers
Jessie Beebe
Brent Sass
Paul Gephardt

There is also the official page: http://www.kobuk440.com and the blog: http://kobuk440.blogspot.com/



The Taiga 300 has been cancelled. :(
