2024 Two Rivers 200/100 musher roster

The Two Rivers 200/100 race is back with a strong line up of rookies and veterans ready to take off down the trail. This race was a popular one for many years before having to go on hiatus as the club worked to restructure and rebuild. Now it's back and fans and mushers are excited to have it back on the race rotation.

With the business of the season there will not be a full race preview on the blog, but there will be ways to follow the race so let's at least get that posted here for fans to make sure and follow along. 



Schedule of Events

Thursday, Feb 15
6pm - Musher Meeting

Friday, Feb 16
9am - Vet Check
NOON - Race Start

Sunday, Feb 18
2pm - Finisher's Banquet

How to Watch

GPS
There are GPS trackers for this race, and that's a good thing considering every fan has an unhealthy obsession with those little flags moving around the map. Trackleaders.com already has the link for the trackers up and running!

Social Media
The race is put on by the Two Rivers Dog Mushers and they have been very active on Facebook promoting the race, this will be the best place to get race information during the race. They also have an Instagram account which may share some photos of the race. It's unclear if there will be any live feeds (Kale Casey is prepping for the Fur Rondy race coverage and plans on covering the Sheep Creek Fun Run this weekend, so we won't see him in Two Rivers).

Website
The rules and some more info on the schedule can be found on the Two Rivers Dog Mushers website. The race has a dedicated page on the website, but it's not as interactive as some other races have.


Rosters

Okay, let's get to what you're really here for. As always, the roster will be updated with bib numbers as soon as they are known. And, of course, if you spot bad links or wrong info please comment below so corrections can be made.

Edited Feb. 16, 2024 to add bib numbers and put the list in start order.

Who are you excited to cheer for? Predictions for who wins? Comment below!

If you like what you see and want to support my addiction (I mean HOBBY) of following these races and stalking (I mean cheering on) the mushers, you can buy me a slice of pizza (that really goes to paying for my internet/web expenses).

2024 Yukon Quest (Canada) musher roster

Whitehorse is gonna be busy this weekend as it sees the start of the 2024 Yukon Quest (Canadian side). Cold temperatures and icy conditions have modified the start plans and played a role in roster changes. Still, there's a strong list of teams in the 450 and 100 races. The 250 saw the largest drop in names with just two remaining. There are two mushers still trying to make it to the race - given special permission to be late - as their dog truck died on them shortly after entering Canada and they had to be towed back to Tok, Alaska. Fingers are crossed the Squids make it to the starting line (as such they do not have bib numbers as they missed the draw.)

As stated on the previous roster for the Alaskan Quest you kinda wonder what the races would look like if the boards would combine efforts, find a common ground, and put on another 1000 mile race crossing the border... with a 300 and 100 in the mix as well. Pipe dreams...

The YQ250 originally had 4 names on the roster, but two dropped out last minute so the two teams still in it were given two bibs (guessing due to sponsor commitments). 

But you're just here to learn about the teams, not to get all the random details of drama. Let's get to it.
