This is a forum for general discussion of dogsled racing, with a special focus on Alaska, and is open to all. It is expected that this area will see the most activity during the months leading up to, and during the annual Iditarod sled dog race. Pictures from races can be posted here. Hosting is provided by the Bering Strait School District (BSSD), and the area is open all year. Care to be one of our volunteer moderators? Contact us!

I open this just to be ready
Thanks mamamia!
Manley Hot Springs to Tanana; distance of 66 miles. Manley is home to Joee and Pam Redington. Joee is a champion, and well respected by all. Its back to river running to Tanana. The last time this way the trail followed the Tofty rd. Since it is now open to traffic year round it isn’t available for use. The first 44 miles after leaving Manley is usually a good trail. The lower Tanana can be a wind blown area. While I haven’t been out there this winter, I’d be very surprised if it doesn’t show the effects of the wind. Upon reaching the Yukon river you’ll cross at the “oldmission”. On the road the last 2 miles into town.
Tanana; home of musher name like Erhart, Moore, Roberts, and home of the TV show Yukon Men.
Tanana to Ruby; distance of 116 miles. The trail from Tanana downstream is usually good, but can be a tough go as it was two years ago. At 64 miles is the Kokrine Hills Bible Camp(active). From the bible camp to Ruby is 52 miles. The report this year is that even though the recent Irondog race just covered this section of trail, there has been a lot of new snow so the trailbreakers will be basically a new trail in sections. Lots of snow also means that there might be some overflow to deal with.

Martin is in Manley Hot Spring
By default the GPS legend should be sorted on mile, but you can choose another view if you want to. Also, the "bubbles" might shadow for each other.
Martin 160 Manley
Mitch 148
Peter 158
Nicolas 143
Dallas 142
Noah 138
Wade 132
Mitch, Dallas, Noah are marked as resting.

Thanks Mira, I don't have the tracker so it's hard to understand
