“Toughest 300 miles in Alaska”
Congratulations to Jody and the whole team on your Copper Basin 300 finish.
The Copper Basin 300 is a 100% volunteer-based race that starts in Glennallen, AK every year during the second weekend of January. The CB300 first started in 1990 and was founded with the purpose of supporting local businesses in the slow winter months. This year is the 36th running of the race.
The Vet’s Choice Award is voted on by race vets for the team with the best dog care.
The 2025 Yukon Quest Alaska 200-mile race provides a perfect balance of distance and intensity for mushers seeking a demanding yet manageable challenge. Ideal for those building experience or seasoned competitors looking for a different test.
Congratulations to Jody and the team on your Yukon Quest Alaska 200

Preserving the Legacy, Promoting Excellence: The Yukon Quest Alaska (YQA) is committed to the preservation and promotion of long-distance dog mushing as a tribute to the historic trails of the north. Our mission revolves around showcasing the incredible bond between mushers and their teams, ensuring the highest standards of canine welfare, and celebrating the enduring spirit of adventure that defines the arctic experience.
Raven Clan Kennels had two teams competing.
Jody Potts-Joseph is Bib #2, Izzy Nicolier is Bib #4.
Jody drew Bib #2, making her this year’s official mail carrier!
This year, the Percy DeWolfe Memorial Mail Race is a 150-mile (241 km) dog sled race following the historic Yukon River mail route traveled by the legendary mail carrier Percy DeWolfe. The route heads to Fortymile, completes a loop, and returns to Dawson City.
The race attracts world class mushers from other well known races such as the Yukon Quest and Iditarod, and is a qualifying race for both.
Jody – Bib #2
Izzy – Bib #4
The Kobuk 440 Racing Association is a Kotzebue-based non-profit run by volunteers all across the Northwest Arctic region. The association hosts the Kobuk 440 mid-distance sled dog race annually. For the Iñupiat, dog mushing has always been a part of life and a part of the region’s history. Mid-distance races provide an opportunity for dog mushers to garner experience that can lead them to longer races like the Iditarod. During the race, checkpoint communities come together to celebrate the Iñupiaq way of life, respect for nature, community wellness, and heritage. For more information click the Kobuk 440 logo.
