Join us as we gather for a special evening on Thursday, Februray 27, 2025, to commemorate the history of The Iditarod and look towards the future. Don’t miss out on the event of the season; the celebration of The Last Great Race on Earth®!
There are two parts to this special evening, and as a banquet ticket holder, you get to attend both!
Musher Meet and Greet
4:15 pm
The Iditarod Trail Committee is excited to host the Musher Meet and Greet for fans to meet and spend one-on-one time with the mushers before they head out on the trail! Grab a coveted race poster or bring your own items and and enjoy the opportunity to ask for autographs and interact with the mushers before the Banquet. There will be light appetizers and a no-host bar.
2025 Iditarod Mushers Banquet
6:00 pm – 9:30 pm
Doors Open at 5:30 pm
Once you are done at the Musher Meet and Greet (as all banquet tickets include the Meet and Greet), join us on the 3rd floor of the Dena’ina Civic and Convention Center for a night to remember! Attendees can help raise funds for the Iditarod via a robust live and silent auction while enjoying a meal and watching the mushers take the stage to draw for their official start order. All proceeds raised at this fundraiser go towards the implementation of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race®.
Don’t miss out on the 2025 Bib Draw, fun games, a Live and Silent Auction, appearances from Iditarod Legends, new 2025 Iditarod Gear sold on site, dinner, drinks and a celebration to kick off the 53rd running of the The Last Great Race on Earth®!
