The mushers’ meeting and banquet at the Copper Basin 300 Mile Sled Dog Race was a pretty casual affair, more like a gathering of friends at a local pub than an official ceremony. Nevertheless, the mushers were all briefed on weather, trail conditions, checkpoint rules, etc. The drawing for bib numbers was the highlight of the evening, with Aliy drawing #23 and Allen drawing #3. Both of them were satisfied with their positions and the evening ended on another positive note. So, all in all, it has been a very good, very easy pre-race day here at the CB300!
The teams have gone to their overnight accommodations near the starting line at Wolverine Lodge and have promised to get a good night’s sleep. They will be up and active pretty early, getting ready for the start at 11am.
Stay tuned!…
