Kuskokwim 300 Race Is On
Mushing is still on for the Y-K Delta. On Sept. 11, the Kuskokwim 300 Race Committee announced that the K300, Bogus Creek 150, and Akiak Dash, along with the usual five local races, are all on the schedule for this winter. But there will be some changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The race committee’s press release states that mushers, or anyone traveling to Bethel for the K300, will need to bring a recent negative COVID-19 test result, and also take another rapid test upon arrival.
