2021 Bogus Creek 150 Roster Stacked With Past Champions
The Bogus Creek 150 Sled Dog Race starts Saturday, Jan. 30 in Bethel. Mushers will take off at noon in a mass start on the Kuskokwim River. Tune into KYUK 640 AM for live race coverage.
The race route forms a 75-mile loop that mushers will complete twice. It starts and ends on the Kuskokwim River, near the mouth of Bethel's small boat harbor. Organizers designed the route to avoid villages during the pandemic.
“They’ll go up Straight Slough upriver, then up the Gweek. They’ll take the Akiachak Portage Trail, go past Akiachak, and then continue on the river up to Akiak. Then come back overland towards the Gweek again, where they’ll catch the Yukon Trail, and then Rocky’s Trail. And come back to Bethel on Rocky’s Trail,” Race Manager Paul Basile said, outlining the expected course.
