The John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon 8am Trail Report, 2/2/2021
2 pm UPDATE: Both Erin Letzring and Sarah Keefer passed Ryan Reddington midday on the trail to arrive at the Mineral Center checkpoint first and second, respectively. However, the required amount of cumulative rest for each marathon team means that Ryan Reddington will depart eight minutes behind Erin Letzring, while Sarah Keefer will be required to depart over a half hour later. In the final leg, an additional factor will be the number of dogs remaining on each team, and how that affects both that team s speed and endurance.

With a few fresh inches of snow on the ground, the 37th annual John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon has begun. The full-distance marathon this year has 17 teams starting. Unfortunately, with the COVID-19 pandemic still affecting the region - and the world - few spectators could be at the start of the race. But KUMD s Lisa Johnson reports live from the start and describes the scene.
In the days leading up to the race, factors were discussed that may impact this year s race. Will the warmer temperatures predicted over the next couple days - near the freezing point - make some teams decide to slow their pace to prevent the dogs overheating? Or, will this year s shorter marathon distance make some teams decide to increase their pace instead?
