Do you like having an easy to find list like this and want to see them continue? I'm looking at a significant change in circumstance and while this blog has always been a hobby and will continue to be - and this list is more for myself than anything - if you can spare a few dollars to help keep this blog running I would greatly appreciate it. I hate doing shameless plugs, but readers have asked and I'm finally opening up to the idea. Please do not feel obligated, but know that all support (in every form, not just financial) is greatly appreciated! Click here to "buy me a coffee".

2021/22 Race Season Schedule

With the Summer Solstice behind us, it's only a matter of time before autumn is upon us here in the North and with that the touring season will give way to the training season. As has been my habit over the last few years, I've compiled a list of the mid and long distance races fans wait for every year. If there is a new race, or one that I've missed in previous seasons please comment below with information and I'll be happy to research and add it! I'm always looking for more races to follow, and I'm sure other fans are, too!

And now, without further adieu, the 2021-22 race schedule. As always this page will be updated as dates become official.

2020/21 Race Season Schedule

Yes, this blog is still active. Don't judge the lack of posts thinking Covid's taken another fun thing from our lives. It's just with Covid a lot of things have been up in the air regarding race season, but good news! Races are staying positively optimistic that the season will go on as planned. There will be, of course, changes to how races are run (best example is there is no thousand mile Yukon Quest this year due to border restrictions) because of the pandemic are still being worked out, but overall the winter is looking bright for sport lovers ready for something to follow. Below is the schedule with most of the big races in North America and Europe featured. The list will be updated as time allows and information comes in. If I have missed a race you feel should be included, please leave a comment below and I'll do my best to find info. Most races on the list come from the Iditarod and Yukon Quest qualifying races list.
