Congratulations to Mike Williams Jr. on the 2026 Bogus Creek 150 Win!! Team Kaiser arrives in 4th place- Go Team Kaiser!!
It’s Official- Pete Kaiser is the new King!
Congratulations to Pete and the Team for their 10th record setting Win! Also a record is 5 straight wins!
We all gathered to see history being made this morning at the Finish Line in Bethel. It was chilly and wouldn’t you know it, the Kusko 300 had some weather in store for us, just to keep us honest! Freezing rain began falling to the extent a slight rainbow could be seen over Bethel in the mid morning day.
Pete and the Team crossed the line at 10:40:00 with 10 dogs with an elapsed time of 38:18:00.
A boisterous crowd was on hand to welcome Pete and the Team that honestly looked like they could do another run! Tails wagging with Mookie and Delmer in Lead- it was a sight to behold.
Coming in second was Riley Dyche who remarked that Pete passed him in almost the identical place in the trail from last year.
Third place belonged to Mike William Jr. who, having led much of the race, had a little Team trouble out of Kalskag that dropped him to fifth position and he was able to make his way back to third.
In fourth place, and the first Lady musher to be in the top five since 2002 when Dee Dee Jonrowe did it was local veterinarian and hometown favorite, Jessica Klejka.
Topping out the top five was Ryan Redington.
It was a really nice morning, save for the freezing rain. Thank you to all of our supporters, fans, sponsors, and of course Pete’s family who make this all possible.
Go Team Kaiser!

Good morning Race Fans!
After an epic run in which Pete and the Team left in 4th position out of Kalskag, those Kaiser noses smelled home and stepped it up a notch!
Pete left Kalskag in 4th position at 8:40pm with 11 dogs. At 10:30pm he passed Riley Dyche to take the lead on the downriver trail to Tuluksak.
Arriving into Tuluksak at 1:47am, Pete rested the Team for 4hours and was back on the trail at 5:48am with 10 dogs after leaving one.
It was evident from watching the Race Flow feature of the Tracker that Team Kaiser had speed on the Teams in front of them. After leaving Kalskay 19 minutes behind the leader, Pete arrived into Tuluksak 16 minutes in front of Riley Dyche, who also had passed Mike Williams Jr. during the Run.
This is basically a repeat of the 2025 race where Pete and Riley battled it out over the last section of the trail.
At this hour Pete and the Team have reached the Gweek River and their training playground and those noses are smelling home for sure. They are about 20 miles from Bethel, so a finish is headed our way soon!!
Go Team Kaiser!!
