The 2025 Bogus Creek 150 sled dog race has been postponed because of concerns about the readiness of local teams after an unseasonably warm December. The Holiday Classic, which had been postponed because of a lack of snow, will now run on Jan. 11.

Kwethluk's Raymond Alexie took first place in the out-and-back race between Bethel and the village of Atmautluak.

Due to a lack of snow, the race manager said that first race of the Delta Championship Series must be rescheduled to a yet-to-be-determined date.

It brings the total race purse to $200,000, to be distributed between the top 25 finishers in the 2025 Kuskokwim 300 Sled Dog Race.

The Kuskokwim 300 Race Committee racing season wrapped up this weekend with the Campout Race. Kwethluk’s Raymond Alexie finished on top once again.

Mushers raced the same trail to the mouth of the Gweek River and back on Friday, then again on Saturday.

Bethel’s Pete Kaiser and Bethel-raised Jessica Klejka are among the 38 mushers competing in "The Last Great Race" this year. And many more mushers are veterans of Bethel’s Kuskokwim 300.

Mushers took a team member along for a race over rivers, sloughs, and trails to Kwethluk during the February 50 Doubles race over the weekend.

The Iditarod board voted unanimously on Thursday to disqualify former champion Brent Sass after allegations made in November and recent questions from Alaska Public Media, the Anchorage Daily News and ProPublica. Sass has denied the claims.

With weather fluctuating from sunshine to whiteout snow and back again, Kwethluk's Raymond Alexie earned his second consecutive first-place finish in the Bogus Creek 150 on Feb. 11, followed by Pete Kaiser of Bethel in second and Darren George of Akiachak in third.
