The Toughest Trail
30 Minutes
1991
Despite a field of champion
mushers, including five time Iditarod champion Rick Swenson, the 1991
Kuskokwim
300 was a year of upsets. As dogs
set out on a rock hard, icy trail, mushers dubbed it the 'Kusko-Slip 300".
Three days later, as dogs waded their way home through waist deep water, they
called it the "Kusko-Swim 300". The always unpredictable Kusko 300
lived up to its reputation as one of the most challenging mid-distance sled dog
races in
Alaska
.
