I’ve mentioned how awesome the volunteer social media team is for the Kobuk. One ventured out on a snowmachine to catch teams going by. Beautiful day out!! #Kobuk440 #Mushrsky www.facebook.com/share/v/1Fs5...
Jody Potts-Joseph forgot her dog blankets in her truck in Fairbanks so she is using the beautiful specially made dog blankets as her mandatory gear. It’s very warm right now so not sure if they’ll need them. She has a Revna on her team! #Kobuk440 #Mushersky

Just checked and both Jessie Holmes and Kevin Hansen are in Noorvik. #Kobuk440 #Mushersky
Next stop is Noorvik. #Kobuk440 #Mushersky
And they’re off! #Kobuk440 #Mushersky
With a mass start, there are no time differentials like there are in the Iditarod or other races where teams leave at timed intervals. #Kobuk440 #Mushersky
The Kobuk 440 social media team is now on Facebook live streaming. The start is at 12:30 pm. #Kobuk440 #Mushersky

The #Kobuk440 is where the beep boop started for the gps trackers, so if you do not like a little humor of beep boops in reference to trackers, you should probably mute me. I personally think it's fun to joke about these mythical pieces of equipment that cause so much chaos. #beepboop
Toni has links to kennels and information on the mushers.
Kobuk 440 has a website www.kobuk440.com, but posts mainly on Facebook www.facebook.com/Kobuk440
Their social media team is tiny and amazing! They will capture live video (fingers crossed) of the mass start. #Kobuk440 #Mushersky

#UglyDogs The Kobuk 440 starts in about 28 minutes with a mass start. Skies are sunny and wind looks to be minimal. The Kobuk 440 social media crew is small and posts mainly on Facebook. They are posting on Bluesky at @kobuk440.bsky.social so give them a follow! #Kobuk440 #Mushersky
Added the bib numbers! Race begins in about three hours from now (12:30pm AKDT). #MusherSky #Kobuk440 #SledDogs #BeepBoop #DogSports #Alaska
#UglyDogs look who’s back!!! #Kobuk440 #Mushersky
You’re welcome!!! And thank you for posting! We know you have a small crew! I’ll share Facebook posts, but not all are on that platform.
And to clarify, there are no ugly dogs-they are all beautiful! #UglyDogs are the fans, and this is one of our absolute favorite races! #Kobuk440 #Mushersky
#UglyDogs the #Kobuk440 starts today! #Mushersky
Wooooo Hooooo and Congrats to Jessie on another big win!! Now for some rest perhaps? #MusherSky #Kobuk440

Jessie and his lead dogs. The 2 on the left led the way into Kotz while the whitish on on the right must have played a part. Not sure what at this moment. #Kobuk440
2026 Iditarod finisher Calvin Daugherty in Kotzebue at the Kobuk 440 finish line.
Celebrity siting in Kotz: Calvin Daughtery! He’s supporting Sadie and Sam who are both still out in the trail. #Kobuk440
#Kobuk440 has gone live on Facebook to stream Jessie's finish and the same tiny smudge on my laptop screen that confused me approximately 1,049 times during the Iditarod is once again convincing me I see his team in the distance every few seconds
A big high five to #Iditarod53 Champ Jessie Holmes for rocking the #Kobuk440! I know he enjoys this race and everyone involved, so I'm glad to see him doing so well. Keep it up dude! #MusherSky
#UglyDogs there’s video of Q coming into Ambler yesterday. He’s currently headed to Kobuk. The top 3 (Holmes, Hansen, Buser) are back in Ambler having run through the night. Kristy is almost back to Ambler having also completed the round trip. #Kobuk440 #MusherSky

Yeah the US is ruled by a mad King, our security and the global economy will never be the same, but the #Kobuk440 is happening in northern Alaska and there are trackybois to focus on! #MusherSky #UglyDogs @kobuk440.bsky.social
Blue sky and fresh snow on the sea ice at the Kobuk 440 start today! Mushers have some interesting sled adornments @blairbraverman.bsky.social #trackybois #uglydogs #kobuk440
Man Trail Crew 2 is smoking Trail Crew 1 and the rest of the field. ;) #Kobuk440 (it's been a craptastique week let me be ridiculous)
A screenshot of Quince Mountain and his sled dog team at the start of the Kobuk 440, there's a very flat stretch of snow, buildings on the left with blue sky above
I see Dora's stripe!
