Over the course of twenty-five years, the K-300 has become the highest regarded mid-distance dog sled race in the world. The race annually attracts the top mushers in the world. Usually over half of the top ten finishers of the Iditarod in March will have run the K-300 in January. In 2006, 10 of the top 15 Iditarod finishers from the year before came to Bethel to compete. The K-300 puts up the largest purse for a 300 mile sled dog race in the world- $100,000 with $20,000 going to the first place musher. The race also gives competitors a good "tune-up" run 5 to 6 weeks before the Iditarod. |
