The annual race is Sponsored by the Montana Creek Dog Mushers
Association in honor of the late Don Bowers. In January, 2000 Don
Bowers—author, airman, dog driver—started a combined 200/300 mile dog
race in Willow, Alaska. Following Don Bowers death that year, a group
of volunteers continued that race, now renamed in his memory. The race
is a qualifier for both the Iditarod and the Yukon Quest.
The Don Bowers Junior 100 race, the 200 & 300 mile race begins
today. 23 teams signed up, on an evening when just driving to Willow
was a wild ride. Some mushers switched races from the 300 to the 200
miler. Updates if they become available will be posted. http://www.mcdma.org/pmwiki.php/Bowers/Standings
