2025 Copper Basin musher roster

Baby it's cold outside - or something like that.
 Earlier this winter we were given trail reports in the Copper River Basin of overflow and open water. Then the cold snap at the New Year happened and trails - while still less than ideal snow levels - seemed to stiffen up. There was no doubt that the Copper Basin 300 would go on, there were no messages going out with a "we're monitoring and will let you know" vibe, but cold weather is always a relief for sled dog races.

And, it wouldn't be the CB300 if it wasn't cold. Remember, this is the race that is often hitting negative temps of -30 and several races in the last decade hit -60. This race is known as the toughest 300 miles, there are elevation changes, water crossings, and the cold. Oh, the cold.

And, yet, every year it is one of the most popular races boasting a roster of top tier racing kennels mixed witha few brave "rookies." It's certainly one way to test a musher's endurance.

Of course, this year, the opposite is true with the prediction of abnormally warm temps - balmy infact, but we'll talk about that later.

As always, here's a run down of the roster as it stands ahead of race day. Once the musher meeting happens (scheduled for Friday, January 10, at 6pm) and the final roster complete with starting order is set the list will be edited to reflect any changes.
