For blank timesheets and all official results, visit ASDRA’s website: https://asdra.org/index.php/fur-rondy-owc/ Since 1946, the Fur Rondy Open World Championships three day sled dog sprint race through and around Anchorage has brought Alaskans together. People come to Anchorage from all over to watch the sled dogs start and finish on 4th Avenue. Radio coverage is provided by Alaska Gold Rush Radio 590 AM (96.7FM) and online for international audiences on https://www.alaskagoldrushradio.com/listen/ About this event: The Fur Rondy Sled Dog Race is a living testament to Alaska's rich history, cultural heritage, and community spirit. It is a celebration of the bond between humans and dogs, the resilience of the Alaskan people, and the enduring legacy of the state's Indigenous traditions. George Attla — nicknamed the “Huslia Hustler” — is one of the most legendary sprint mushers in Alaska’s history. He won the Fur Rendezvous World Championship sled dog race a record ten times between 1958 and 1982, more than any other musher in the event’s history. His titles came in years including 1958, 1962, 1968, 1972, 1975, 1976, 1978, 1979, 1981, and 1982. Attla’s dominance — especially beginning with his shocking first victory in 1958 as an unknown competitor — helped elevate sprint sled dog racing from a regional pastime into a major spectator sport across Alaska. His career stretched across decades, and his record stood unmatched for over 40 years. This legendary event is sponsored by Lynden, Tudor Bingo Center, COUNTRY Financial, Baileys Irish Cream, PET Urgent Care - Anchorage, KHAR, Connoisseur Media, and Alaska Advanced Dentistry. Produced by the Alaska Sled Dog & Racing Association. Supported by EasyPark's Park It Forward: Downtown Grant Program. Additional Historical Background: The origins of the Fur Rendezvous Festival and its sled dog race can be traced back to the early 20th century. In the 1930s, Anchorage was a growing city, but its winters were long and harsh, leading to a sense of isolation among its residents. To combat the winter blues and boost community morale, local leaders organized the first Fur Rendezvous Festival in 1935. The festival was designed to celebrate Alaska's fur trade, which was a significant part of the state's economy at the time. The event featured fur auctions, games, and other winter activities, but it was the addition of the sled dog race in 1946 that truly captured the public's imagination. The Fur Rondy Sled Dog Race was inspired by the long-standing tradition of dog sledding in Alaska, which had been a vital mode of transportation for centuries. Indigenous peoples, such as the Inupiat and Yupik, relied on dog teams to traverse the vast, snow-covered landscapes of the region. During the Gold Rush era of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, sled dogs became indispensable for transporting goods, mail, and people across the frozen wilderness. The Fur Rondy race was a way to honor this tradition and showcase the skills of mushers and their dogs. #WeRondy #Rondy | Fur Rondy Live - Day #2 Fur Rondy Sled Dog Race Update from 4th & D 2026 Fur Rondy Open World Championships Day 2 Start Order - Reverse Start with the slowest teams from yesterday starting first today....

Day 3, the final day for the Rondy Invitational Sled Dog Race. Sunny and a bit too warm. #FurRondy continues through next Sunday although it looks like we're making progress as "fur" is featured less prominently this year. Nice crowd at the snow sculptures (judging today) and the carnival.

#Fireworks. I wasn't expecting them until next week. I guess I should have checked the #FurRondy event calendar. I was watching 'Office Space' (a tribute to musk's requirement that federal employees explain what they did last week), heard a loud bang, shouted WTF?, looked up and there they were.

A real, live polar bear on the streets of downtown Anchorage during Fur Rondy. We warned you Anchorage is wild.

Out for a walk, I never Imagined I'd be running into a polar bear in the wilds of downtown Anchorage during #FurRondy.

Well, it looks like today's portion of #FurRondy Invitational sled dog races is over. This is the first time I've seen two mushers on the track at once and the first time I've seen them circle back around.
