2025 Tahquamenon Country Sled Dog Race musher roster

This race is new to the blog as far as any sort of coverage goes. The smaller mileage race, though, is very popular with mushers and there are quite a few names that fans should easily recognize whether they follow mushing in the Lower 48 or not. Because of this, the 10-dog pro class is the first to get featured on the blog this year.

The Tahquamenon Country Sled Dog Race will take place on January 11 and will work similarly to how the Knik 100 runs, where it is raced over two days with two starts and stops. The first leg will be 37 miles and the second will be 24 miles. 

While this is not a race that is used to qualify for the "big" races, it is a fun event that deserves attention. This is the first time in several years the weather has cooperated with enough snow for them to hold the race.


Below is the current roster for the 10-dog pro class.
