Three more Pro teams register for Iron Dog 2021

Three more Pro Class teams and an additional Expedition Class rider signed up today to bring the total number of Iron Dog 2021 racers and riders to 53. 

More Pro teams are waiting until the last minute (hurry up, racers, the deadline lapses on Oct. 31!), to join the 19 other Pro teams that have completed their paperwork and paid their entry fee. The Expedition Class now boasts 15 riders, with more expected to sign up soon. Expedition Class registration will remain open after the Oct. 31 Pro Class deadline.

The World’s Longest, Toughest Snowmobile Race is slated to start on Big Lake on Saturday, Feb. 13, head to Nome for the NAC halfway banquet, then hightail it to Koyuk, Buckland, Selawik, Kiana, Noorvik, Kotzebue and back through Buckland to Koyuk. The racers will turn south down the coast to finish on Big Lake Feb. 20. The additional loop creates a total course mileage of 2,645.

Pro class teams will leave the Big Lake starting chute on Saturday, Feb. 13, and return Feb. 20, covering some 2,600 miles during the 38th running of the Iron Dog. Expedition Class (formerly Rec Class) riders will start Thursday, Feb. 11 on Big Lake and finish in Nome some five days later. 

Registration closes Oct. 31, 2020. Entry fees per person are the same as last year: Pro class entry is $4,100; Expedition class entry is $2,600.
