Race Director Nordman hired as Iditarod's Interim CEO

Mark Nordman at the Iditarod Picnic. June 2026.

The Iditarod Trail Committee announced on Wednesday that they had hired an interim CEO as they continue their search for the next leader of the Last Great Race. Current CEO Rob Urbach announced in June that he was stepping down as CEO after seven years of service to the race. Stepping into the role to fill the gap between Urbach's departure and the ITC finding a permanent CEO is current Race Director Mark Nordman.

Nordman has been a part of the race in some capacity for five decades. Mark's rookie Iditarod was in 1983, the rookie musher placed 43rd out of 68 teams that started (54 of which finished). He would run the Iditarod five times total, with four finishes. His best placement was 32nd in 1993. His total winnings, according to Iditarod.com, was $1000. When he wasn't racing he was a race judge, until he was given the role of Race Marshal which he has held for most of the 2000s.

In 2024 Mark Nordman came off the trail as marshall to become Race Director. Nordman oversees the entire race operation. He has years of experience and knowledge of the race, the communities (as well as many connections), and has a great rapport with mushers and volunteers (something some said has been lacking in the last few years).

“Mark knows the Iditarod from the inside out,” said Mike Mills, Chair of the Iditarod Trail Committee Board of Directors. “His decades of experience across nearly every facet of the organization, combined with the trust and respect he has earned throughout Alaska and beyond, make him the right person to lead the Iditarod during this transition.”

Fans, volunteers, and mushers alike commented on the announcement on Iditarod's social media post of the announcement. Hearty congratulations came in by the dozens on the Facebook post. Volunteers and fans began commenting how excited they were, some saying they felt more positive about the race than they had in years.

Four-time Iditarod Champion Jeff King wrote "Fabulous choice. A giant among Iditarod greats." Iditarod veteran and former Race Judge Karen Ramstead wrote, "absolutely the right choice." Many others chimed in with similar thoughts.

“The Iditarod has been the center of my adult life since 1983,” Nordman said. “I’m honored that the Board has placed this trust in me, and I’m committed to keeping the organization moving forward while we find the right long-term leader.”

Mark officially steps into the role on September 15. Rob Urbach will officially will step down and focus on the project he started at CEO, DOGZ - "a multifaceted ecosystem for canine content, events, products, and services." DOGZ oversees DockDogs, as well as the partnership with BarkTV among other things. 

The ITC Board will continue to look for a permanent CEO but, according to Mills, they are confident that The Iditarod is in "experienced and capable hands."

Iditarod announces 2026 Hall of Fame inductees

The Iditarod announced Monday morning the 2026 Iditarod Hall of Fame inductees. Twelve inductees were announced between five categories. The Hall of Fame was rebooted in 2025 by the Iditarod as a way to bring excitement and fan involvement to the race, the second round of inductees are a list of familiar faces and names to many who have followed the race.

In the Founder's Class includes Dick Mackey, Dick Tozier, Leo Rasmussen, John Norman, and Doug Swingley. It is up to the Hall of Fame committee to determine how many are chosen for this category. Each of the men listed for 2026 made a huge impact on the race, be it behind the scenes or running under the arch multiple times (and sometimes doing both). 

The Musher's Class inductees this year are both women with huge impacts within not just the Iditarod race but the sport itself. Up to three mushers may be named per year. This year DeeDee Jonrowe and Aliy Zirkle join the ranks.

The Canine Class is possibly the most important of the classes. Without the canine athletes there would be no reason for the Iditarod to exist. Up to two may be nominated in a year. This year Susan Butcher's beloved Granite and Rick Swenson's best Andy will be honored by the Hall of Fame. Granite and Andy were key to the long standing rivalry on the Iditarod trail between the two legendary mushers.

The Volunteer Class honors those who donate their time and talent (many times with long hours and little sleep) to the race. With Iditarod coming up on its 55th race in 2027, many volunteers have been with the race for 40-50 years, bringing along with them new volunteers every year as they invite new fans to join the ranks. Two volunteers may be nominated per year. This year Cheryl Zachary and Bob Sept will be honored by the Hall of Fame. 

The Contributor Class "recognizes individuals, organizations, media professionals, sponsors, and partners whose dedication and support have strengthened, sustained, and advanced the Iditarod community and its enduring legacy." The Hall of Fame allows for one inductee per year and this year it was given to a very deserving group of Iditarod supporters - the Iditarod Airforce. The Airforce is crucial to the logistics of holding the Iditarod, they get the gear, volunteers, and dogs to and from the trail - mostly at their own expense (time and financial) using their own gear and planes.

Inductees will be honored at the Legends of Iditarod Gala held at the Alaska Aviation Museum in Anchorage on October 15. Tickets may be purchased through the Gala's website, with tickets ranging from $225 per person or tables and sponsorship $1049-$2000.

19 sign up at the Iditarod Picnic with 3 signing up online

19 mushers signed up in person at the 2026 Iditarod Picnic.
June 27, 2026. Wasilla, Alaska.

The Iditarod Picnic is a time for fans, volunteers, and mushers (past and present) all come together without their parkas to celebrate the last great race. The picnic is the unofficial start of the next race season being the first race to open up registration for participants. Along with sign ups it is also a thank you to the hundreds of volunteers who make the Last Great Race possible.

In some ways, the Iditarod Picnic is family.

This year with rain forecasted there was concern that the picnic would not be well attended, but as the rain stayed to a light sprinkle the yard of Iditarod HQ filled up as it almost always does. There were nerves as the list stayed small for much of the picnic, but like clockwork the mushers came in about an hour before the sign ups closed ahead of the drawings for free entry fees.

First to sign up was, once again, Riley Dyche. Dyche has the advantage of working at Iditarod HQ giving out dryland cart rides to visitors each day all summer long. The first rookie to sign up was Isaac Redington - which makes him the first fourth generation musher to run the race. Redington's father and grandfather ran their fair share of Iditarods, and his great grandfather is - of course - the Father of Iditarod Joe Redington Sr. Isaac signing up had many long time volunteers and mushers buzzing with excitement to see Joe's legacy continue.

Another rookie looking at making history is AddieAnn Randal. Randal plans to run both Jr and full length Iditarod this year - with the junior being used as a final training run. Randal will turn 18 the day of the Start of Iditarod 2026 and if her mom did the math correctly she could beat Dallas Seavey's youngest finisher record by mere minutes (she will have to finish). Going to be an historic run for many.

Noticeably absent: Returning champions. While Dallas Seavey and Dick Mackey were both in attendance at the picnic neither one has any plans to return to racing (we can give Mackey a pass at the young age of 93 and all), no other champion signed up in person or online. That should change as at least one returning champion had family at the race who expected him to send their application in once they were done doing tours for cruise ship guests. There was some concern about reigning champion Jessie Holmes as he had made comments to many that he would be at the picnic and signing up - yet Holmes was no where to be seen.

Fan favorites Matt Hall, Matt Failor, and Jeff Deeter were all at the picnic and ready to take another stab - this is a return for Failor as he sat last year out as a new dad of two. 

Six rookies signed up at the picnic, and five of the six rookies were able to win their entry fee back. This year 80% of each rookie's entry fee is covered by inaugural Expedition class musher Kjell Rokke. Longtime Iditarod Supporter Frank Seigler donated monies for a random drawing for up to four rookies for the remaining 20%. One rookie's fee was already paid in full and so they waived participation in the drawing. In true Iditarod fashion the lone musher left that did not win the random drawing was covered by Travis Beals and Sarah Stokey.

Race Director Mark Nordman was on hand to announce the musher drawings - with the grand finale being the two entry fees being awarded to two lucky mushers. Nordman asked for exiting CEO Rob Urbach to draw and announce the names. Mark took a moment to thank Urbach for his years of service to the race and spoke highly of their working relationship. It was announced Friday that Urbach was stepping down from his role - remaining with the race to help select his successor and help with the transition. 

Urbach pulled the names of Chad Stoddard and Hunter Keefe, both mushers seemed very excited to get that $4000 back.

Currently twenty-two mushers are signed up. More will surely follow - but as with the last few years the opening day list is short. This has some musing what it will take to bring it back to the 40+ name range in June, with many different ideas of what has caused the numbers to hover in the 30s by race day.

Iditarod 55 kicks off in Anchorage, Alaska on March 6, 2027. Mushers can register until November 30 before a significant increase in entry fee is applied. All applications are automatically under review by the Qualifying Review Board. Six of the twenty-two mushers are women; eight rookies are signed up.

A current list of mushers signed up can be found via the official Iditarod website.

Canada's Yukon Quest announces return for 2027

The newly created board for the Canadian version of the Yukon Quest announced Tuesday morning that they are full speed ahead for the 2027 race season. After the former board dissolved in late 2025/early 2026 and announced the 2026 race would be canceled a committee of longtime and loyal volunteers, mushers, and fans came together to revive the race. Now, just a little under two months later they've announced the return of the race.

Note, this is not the Yukon Quest of old, though the Canadian side got to keep the name in the "divorce" when the 1000 mile race's dual boards split. The Yukon Quest Alaska will still take place, as well as the Canadian side. Some had hoped that with a new board in place that the 1,000 mile race could happen again, but that was quickly shut down by the new board citing the logistical challenges of the border crossing and the lack of ice pack on the rivers to get teams safely from one end of the traditional route to the other.

Even just the Canadian side of the race faced that issue in the years it ran independent of Alaska. The trail issues were cited as one of a myriad of reasons the old board shut the race down. However, in today's press release the Yukon Quest board said that they have a solid plan for a safe trail and are even bringing back beloved checkpoints of old.

The race will host two events - a 550 mile long-distance race and a 300 mile mid-distance race. They promise more announcements and updates soon and encourage everyone to follow their social media pages as well as their website to keep up on the action.

Yukon Quest Canada is set to take off from Whitehorse on February 6, 2027. The Yukon Quest Alaska has not announced a race date as of yet, but have announced registration opening on August 22, 2026.

Thoughts and comments about this announcement? Are you excited? What do you expect from this new board? 

Jr Iditarod Race Committee needs your help

The Junior Iditarod turns 50 next year and the race committee is asking for race alumni and fan help. They hope to have a slideshow celebrating the fifty years of the Junior race, but they are lacking in photos dating further back than 2010. 

The Junior Iditarod was started to encourage the youth of Alaska to stick with Dog Mushing. It is an event that continues to draw teens from all over the state to run dogs and compete for scholarship monies. The race has produced some of the top names in the sport, and helped even more junior mushers achieve their academic goals post high school.

While the Junior Iditarod may not get the celebration and fanfare that *the* Iditarod gets, it is an important event in the mushing season. The mushing community comes out to celebrate and encourage the teens. 

Jeff Schultz, long-time official photographer of the Iditarod (and Junior Iditarod), put out a plea on social media Thursday looking for photos ahead of the celebration. 

The Junior Iditarod takes place the last Saturday in February ahead of the start of the Iditarod.

Jessie Holmes holds off Kevin Hansen for Kobuk 440 win

Jessie Holmes at the restart of Iditarod 54.
Holmes won the 2026 Kobuk 440 early
Sunday morning in Kotzebue.

Jessie Holmes had a very happy Easter early Sunday as he and his team came first into Kotzebue winning their fifth Kobuk title - the last (now) four consecutively! In true Team Can't Stop fashion, the champion led the race from start to finish. We just may be in the Jessie Holmes era of long distance dog mushing.

Holmes wasn't alone out in front, he battled with Kotzebue's own Kevin Hansen for most of the race. Hansen stayed right on Jessie's heels from day one and came into the finish just twenty-two minutes after the champion. Kevin even ran the final leg one minute faster than Jessie. An impressive second place finish for the up-and-coming star from Kotz.

The rest of the teams are still along the trail. Judging by the official standings it appears Calvin Daugherty's tracker is not working (it has him several checkpoints back from where the leaderboard has him. He is out of the final checkpoint and it took Holmes and Hansen a little over six hours to make the run into the finish to if Calvin is on schedule (he left at 6:19am AKDT Sunday) then he should be finishing somewhere between 12:30pm AKDT and 1:30pm AKDT Sunday.

After Calvin is a really exciting race happening between Larry Daugherty (yup, Calvin's dad) and Kristy Berington. Both are out of the final checkpoint. They should be coming into the finish around 3pm - but they can't take it easy as Sam McLain about fifteen minutes behind them. Whew! Sometimes the race within the race is more exciting than first place!

Red Lantern is currently Jennifer Nelson on the tracker - however it hasn't updated in 40 minutes, leaderboard also has her well behind the next to last team, so it's a good guess she's the red lantern. Teams have until 2pm Monday AKDT to officially finish.

Klondike Dog Derby announces end

The Board of Directors of Lake Minnetonka's Klondike Dog Derby releassed a statement Friday announcing the "retirement" of the long standing sled dog race. Revived in 2018, the race has struggled to put on races each year - with many believing Climate Change as playing a significant role.

The statement read in part that the difficult decision was made due to the irregular ability to hold a race with safe trails. The chances of both the lake being frozen and there be enough snow on the trails was "about 50/50". They canceled the last three years in a row for just those reasons. The statement said that in seven years they have only been able to hold three races.

"What keeps us grateful is knowing the joy the Klondike brought to this community," the race wrote. "Whether you were a sponsor, volunteer, musher or spectator, your smiles and enthusiasm drove us forward each year. We all have so many incredible memories from the Klondike that we will carry in our hearts forever."

This is just the latest dissolution of a sled dog race in the last few years. Since Covid Alaska, Canada, and the Northern MidWest have seen a number of races end due to inconsistent weather patterns since Covid. Even races like the Yukon Quest saw the threat of forever ending - Canada did not hold a Quest race this year, but a new board hopes to revive it in 2027. The decision is never easy, but sometimes Mother Nature makes the decision for us. Watch, next year they'll have cold and lots of snow. Just seems to how things be.

"We are planning a farewell event to gather with our Klondike family and honor everything this race has meant," the board added. "We’ll also host a Klondike merchandise giveaway and raise a toast to what truly was the “coolest thing that happened in winter” in the Twin Cities. Please stay tuned for more details."

The Klondike Dog Derby was last run in 2023, Dave Hochman was the winner.

Holmes leads early in Kobuk 440

It should shock no one to see Jessie Holmes take an early lead in a race. It has worked out for him well this season, and has worked in his past wins in this race. Holmes isn't alone, though. Kevin Hansen, the hometown team, is hot on his heels running just about a mile behind the reigning champ. 

Hansen ran a solid race in his rookie Iditarod where he lead for a good portion of the race and gave his fellow rookies a run for their money for rookie of the year. Hansen ended up coming in the third highest ranked rookie in Iditarod. He's also been pretty consistent in the Kobuk over the last few years. These are his stomping grounds, and it looks like he wants to take advantage of the trails and having such a solid team to challenge Holmes.

Behind the top two are about five more teams on the trail between Noorvik and Selawik. While everyone chose to spend time in Noorvik, there are significantly different strategies in rest schedules early in the race. Every team must take a combined total of 20 hours of mandatory rest, and the race keeps track on their leaderboards for fans and officials alike can keep track on who really is where on the mushing math side of things.

The weather seems to be "perfect" for a dog race. Bluebird skies wished the mushers well as they took off on the sea ice at 12:30pm Thursday. The mass start went off without a hitch and the mushers so far have been all smiles in photos and video shared.

The 440 is one of the longer mid-distance races (some call it long distance even though it is under the 500 mile mark), so it's still anyone's race at this point, but Holmes is going to make them pry it out of his hands.

2026 Kobuk 440 musher roster & race preview

And now, the end is near, and so we face the final curtain. Yup, it's that time of year. The last "big race" of the season is upon us and that means it's truly Springtime in Alaska (where it has been 40 below). The Kobuk 440 kicks off Thursday afternoon and it's going to be another exciting race that's seen some pretty epic runs the last few years.

Eleven teams are set to hit the trail at 12:30pm Thursday, with snow forecasted Wednesday (only an inch) and mostly clear skies Thursday with highs in the mid twenties, it's going to be a much warmer run than what the Iditarod teams faced a few weeks ago. Accuweather also forecasts a steady 8mph wind, which sounds pretty mild for this part of Alaska, so it should be an overall plesant race this weekend.

Of the eleven teams, eight are teams lead by women. There are also three teams that ran the Iditarod (four if you count that Sadie Lindquist's team will be with the Daugherty mushers). Two-time Iditarod Champion (and four-time Kobuk champion) Jessie Holmes is back to try and keep his streak going (he's won the last three races in a row). Local Kotzebue musher Kevin Hansen is the lone hometown team this year.

This is one of the races this year that has a mass start - there's no time differential at play, no two minute intervals at the start. The race says GO and teams can all take off at the same time, though some hold back a beat or two to keep from getting caught in a traffic jam. The race starts on the ice so there's a lot of space. It's an exciting start to watch and it's over almost as quickly as it begins.

Teams can start with a max of twelve dogs and must finish with five dogs pulling in harness. Teams have a mandatory total of 20 hours of rest. Teams must complete the race by 2pm on April 6. A full list of rules can be found on the race's website.

But enough about all that let's take a look at the roster. As always the post will be edited after the bib draw (which takes place later today).

You know who's racing, but how are you going to watch if you can't get up to Kotzebue? So glad you asked!

How to Watch

Unlike what we just had with Iditarod (if you paid for Insider), the Kobuk like most of the mid-distance races relies more on social media posts and radio updates than they do video. Depending on weather and internet connection there may be live video of the start and finish. A frozen feed (pun somewhat intended) is possible, though the volunteer social media crew have gotten pretty good at making videos happen even if the livefeed doesn't. Along with the video feeds there are ways to keep up with the race happenings, so let's make sure we have all of the links you need.

Official Website
You can find the rules, links to all ways of following the race, and the history of the Kobuk 440 here. Musher bios are also available. The official website may have links to live feeds, so also keep a look out for that. Click here for the link.

GPS Tracker
We're all attached to this bit of technology. If you wonder where the term "tracky boi" came from, you can thank the Kobuk 440. Their social media team were the first to coin the phrase... the phrase that sets some fans' teeth on edge, but it's becoming more endearing each year. Once again, you can follow the race thanks to TrackLeaders. Beep-boop-beep.

Radio Broadcast
Race updates throughout the weekend will be broadcast over on KOTZ-AM. They have a livestream. They may broadcast the start, but it's unclear. Click here to listen in. (If that link doesn't work, try this one.)

Social Media
This is where it's at. The most entertaining race has to be the Kobuk 440 for their amazing social media team. The volunteers know how to get and keep your attention. You can follow them on Facebook and Twitter where they are most active as well as Instagram. KOTZ-AM also has a Facebook page that should share some race info throughout the weekend.

You know HOW to watch, but let's make sure you catch all the action by giving you the days and times of what is planned.
