u might think the 440 in kobuk 440 signifies how long the race is in miles. u would be wrong. it’s actually the number of things that go wrong every single day. the more u know. it’s also the number of dogs nic petit has when he decides to leave the other 407 at home

Billy Shungnak: the weather improving, wind has died down. visibility is 3 miles, light snow.

Jeff King hit his SOS button, 5 miles outside of SHG this morning and the trail crew responded and have brought Jeff into Shungnak. He is warming up and drying out, in good spirits now. To be clear: Jeff and his dogs are all safe and doing well.

A note on strategy

Our region—above the Arctic Circle—has gained so much daylight already that mushers only need headlamps a few hours each night. But that also means it’s all that much more important to use that night time to mush and try to rest during the heat of the day...1/ While humans may be wide awake in the early/mid-afternoon, sled dogs often have the least daily energy at that time and have the most energy during the dark nocturnal hours—which also happen to be the time the trail itself might be the hardest/fastest (depending on weather)... 2/
