Rookie Iditarod Musher, Joshua Robbins, announced today that he has made the personal decision to withdraw from the 2026 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race®. After careful consideration, Robbins determined that stepping back at this time was the best choice for himself and his team.
The Iditarod Trail Committee respects Joshua’s decision and wishes him all the best. We hope to see him and his team on the trail in the future.
