***Edited to add Kobuk 440 info*****
The old link for the The Kotzebue Dog Mushers Association website went poof. I finally found the new link and website. They haven't added much content to the site yet, but I found the dates for this year's Kobuk 440. Does anyone else know for sure if KDMA isl holding the Kobuk 440 this year? I don't know if they are because of the All Alaska Sweepstakes. Will keep ferreting for more information.
