David & Melissa Wagner join snowmobile sessions podcast to talk about Iron Dog Snowmobile Race Team 11 and what it takes to prepare and ride in the worlds toughest race.
The Iron Dog is the World’s Longest, Toughest Snowmobile Race, it covers more than 2,500 miles as it traverses the Alaskan backcountry.
Starting on Big Lake, Pro Class racers travel over the Alaska Range to the Yukon River, then cut overland toward the Bering Sea coast. Once on the coast they travel to Koyuk then to Kotzebue via the “Red Dog Loop”. From Kotzebue racers head south reaching the halfway point in Nome. After leaving Nome, Pro Class Racers will reverse the course, minus the “Red Dog Loop” and finish back in Big Lake, Alaska.
The Expedition Class, a non-competitive class, travels from Big Lake to Nome. Participants cover some of Alaska’s most remote and rugged terrain while confronting harsh winter conditions.
The race is scheduled to begin with the Expedition Class starting on February 15, 2023, followed by a Pro Class start on February 17, 2023 and finish on February 25, 2023 (in Big Lake, AK).
