Delta Championship Series

With warmer weather looming later this week, race managers have rescheduled the 50-mile Holiday Classic sled dog race for Jan. 16.

The Holiday Classic is postponed again. While the trail upriver looked fine on Jan. 10, by the morning of Jan. 11, race officials decided that conditions were unfavorable enough to postpone the race to a later date.

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.

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.
