The race starts and ends on the Kuskokwim River in Bethel, Alaska , and is run on and adjacent to its namesake river. Often referred to as the Kusko 300 , or K 300 , the race has been held every January since 1980, and commemorates an early mail route that once tied the settlements along the river to the outside world. Top mushers and hundreds of sled dogs participate in the race for a purse of 100,000, the largest offered by any 300 mile 480 km sled dog race. The race is renowned for its often difficult weather and trail conditions. The inaugural race saw a fierce blizzard with dangerously low windchills for the first half of the race, followed by a freak thaw and rain for the latter half. Three separate K 300s 1991, 1999, 2008 earned the nickname Kusko Swim , due to strong winds, rain, and deep overflow on top of the river ice. Staged from January 15 through 17th, the 2010 Kuskokwim 300 was won by musher John Baker of Kotzebue, AK in 47 hours, 56 minutes, and 22 seconds, nearly an hour and a half ahead of second place finisher and two time Kusko 300 champion Martin Buser, also a four time Iditarod champion.
