2026 Musher Application

Include a statement about yourself, your background, your dogs and your reason for entering the Iditarod. The information you give us on this application is what we use in the race guide, the media guide, and what we give to those who ask.

Please keep it to 1-2 short paragraphs or 150 words and submit within 30 days, otherwise we will use what we have on file.

Please indicate below whether you want your phone number, e-mail address or mailing address given out. If you do not indicate, we will assume we can give out information.

The Iditarod Education Department coordinates a musher letter writing project for dozens of educators and students each year, no return required on your part.

If you do not want your contact information to be used in the letter writing program, check here.

Should you need a place to stay prior to the Iditarod, let us know.
