John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon: 40th Running
Date: January 26, 2025 - January 30, 2025
Time: All Day
Event Description
For over 40 years, the Minnesota’s North Shore comes alive with the excitement of the John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon race, which celebrates and honors the spirit of John Beargrease and brings thousands of worldwide spectators in person and online, and hundreds of mushers and volunteers from across the nation.
The series features several races, including the longest sled dog marathon in the lower 48 states, each race requiring mushers to fend off Minnesota’s extreme winter weather and rugged terrain. Join us for the 2025 event, kicking off on January 26, from the comfort of your own home or in person!
The organization hosts a mid-distance race, The Beargrease 120, which also travels through the rugged Sawtooth mountains of the North Shore of Minnesota. A recreational race, The Beargrease 40, also begins and ends on race day.
All check points and road crossings are easily accessible to the public and provide many opportunities for photographers, winter camping or simply quality time around a campfire with good people, hot chocolate and the thrill of seeing the amazing canine athletes in action.
