2023 Yukon Quest 550 & 300 rosters

The time has come! It's officially February, and February belongs to the Yukon Quest. Of course, this year that means two separates Quests as the two boards could not come together and work to bring back the thousand mile race. So we get two Quests over two weekends and the first one up is the Alaska side. They're holding three classes, the 550mile race, the 300 mile race (both can be qualifiers for Iditarod), and an 80 mile "fun run".

Since this blog is mainly about Iditarod and its qualifiers, we're going to stick with the two races that count towards that musher report card. Bibs will be drawn Thursday evening, so expect the roster to be edited Friday to reflect bib numbers. For now, we'll just go alphabetically.

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).
