The Bib Draw to determine the starting order for each of the classes will take place Thursday, December 8. After the bib draw is completed, this page will show starting order for all mushers in all classes. Until the bib draw, all classes (other than the waiting list, which is numbered in order of place on the list) are listed randomly within the class. The Musher lists will be updated in real time as mushers complete their registrations beginning December 1, 2025 at 7 pm. You might need to refresh your browser to see real-time updates. These class lists will change if/as mushers withdraw and mushers on the waiting list move into the registered classes.
