We have had some amazing things happening over the last couple of weeks. We are receiving a great response from mushers and volunteers registering for the race. Thank you!

Another announcement is that the Ely Chamber of Commerce and Visitor & Information Center has moved to the new Ely Regional Trailhead. Last week was a wild and crazy ride as we shifted from one location to the next. We deeply apologize for the delay in responding to emails and registrations. We are catching up today.

Finally, the trailhead is the new race start-finish. We are working out the details with the City of Ely and will share more as things solidify. We are so excited for the new start-finish location.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.
