Jonrowe Kennel takes first in the Don Bowers 200 & 300 mile races
Willow, Alaska: Saturday, January 28, 2006 Willow, Alaska: January 20, 2006
In January, 2000 Don Bowers—author, airman, dog driver—started a combined 200/300 mile dog race in Willow. Following his 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. Montana Creek Dog Mushers sponsored the Don Bowers Memorial Race in 2002, 2003 (which was canceled for lack of snow), 2004, 2005 and again in 2006. Bib no 1 is reserved for Don Bowers. Starting order was not quite bib order for the 300 and offsets will be adjusted accordingly. Kent Haltenbacker signed up for the 200 but turned his ankle this morning and withdrew. Similarly Mike Suprenant signed up and then couldn't get his truck to start and withdrew. This accounts for the missing bib numbers in the results. Click here for race information
