The Kuskokwim 300 Race Committee is pleased and excited to announce that they will once again be raising the purses for all 2017 K300 races.
For the fourth time in five years, the purse for the Kuskokwim 300, Bogus Creek 150 and Akiak Dash will all be raised! The purse for the 2017 K300 will now exceed a record breaking $150,000. The Committee is also increasing the number of payouts to the first 25 places. In addition to raising the purses for the three marque races, the K300 will also be raising the purses for all 2017 local races including the Holiday Classic, the 100 Mile Challenge, the February 50 and the Camp-Out Race. The 38th Annual Kuskokwim 300 will begin on January 20, 2017.
Purse breakdowns by position will be officially released later this year. For any questions regarding this or any other press release please contact K300 Race Manager Zach Fansler at 907.545.3300.
