2026 John Beargrease musher roster

(Nothing like waiting until the 11th hour to get this up, but here we are. 4 major races in one weekend is too much of a good thing!)

The John Beargrease Marathon, 120, and 80 mile races are set to take off Sunday morning. After not being able to have their 40th race last year due to lack of snow, everyone has been able to breathe a sigh of relief that the race is on! Of course, most of the Lower 48, including the trails of the Beargrease are dealing with crazy negative temps this weekend, but it seems that things are warming up for the teams tomorrow.

Because this post is so late we're not going to spend a lot of time jibber jabbering. The rosters this year are quite big with a lot of exciting names on each. To get all of the info on the race you'll want to check the race's official website and facebook page. They normally throw one heck of a party for the start, so make sure your computer is ready for more livefeeds (if you aren't already bogged down with all the livefeeds from the three races in Alaska). 

Let's get straight to the rosters, now, shall we!
