2025 Kuskokwim 300 musher roster

It's here! It's really here! After having to postpone by two weeks, it's here! The Kuskokwim 300 should have taken off on January 24, but due to extremely warm temperatures and lack of snow pack, the race had to pivot and announced late on January 15 that they would postpone. The forecast was promising and there was hope that waiting would mean a safe trail for all athletes (four legged as well as two).

And it apparently is.

The Kusko is always one of the most well attended events with mushers from the Kusko Delta meeting up with some of the most well known mushers from the road system. Yes, the Iditarod is the big enchilada, but the Kusko is a feast for mushing enthusiasts.

This year is no exception, even with the weird weather that has kept many a musher from getting the training they had planned. This year we have three Kusko champions racing, three mushers are also Iditarod champions. 

This year is also special because the reining Junior Iditarod champion is also in the mix. As many know the teen musher Emily Robinson has been given more and more opportunities to run against the "big names", and she's beaten quite a few of them. This will be her first 300 mile race.

As with all rosters, the list is as up to date as possible, and organized alphabetically until the bib draw.

    Happy to see Wade back on the trail and I think this is Nic's first race this year. Can't wait to see how Emily does mushing alongside these pros! Thanks for the update Toni!

      Yes I'm very excited to see Wade run! Always a favorite! And I'm trying SO HARD to keep expectations real for Emily's first 300 hundred miler (and to pick the one race on the West Coast of Alaska is just wow! what confidence!)
