It was the fourth straight win for Kaiser, who is now tied with Jeff King for career wins at the K300.
Pete Kaiser with his lead dogs Mookie and Delmer after winning the 2025 Kuskokwim 300 Sled Dog Race. This is Kaiser's ninth win, tying him with Jeff King for the most K300 wins ever.
“At a few points during the season, I was questioning whether or not we were even going to be able to get the team ready to start the race, so I was happy with that,” he said. “But of course, the historic aspect of tying Jeff is pretty sweet. That’s been some motivation behind our training — trying to get to that No. 9 and tie him."
“We don’t have a lot of alternatives out here,” he said. “You’re pretty much stuck. You can’t get in a truck and drive, and so everybody out here has just kind of toughed it out. And you know, we definitely have less miles on the dogs this year than ever.” Pete Kaiser passes the bluffs just before turning onto the Gweek River during the 2025 Kuskokwim 300 Sled Dog Race on Feb. 7, 2025. Finishing in sixth place was Nenana musher Emily Robinson. The 17-year-old is the three-time reigning Junior Iditarod champ and coming off a win at the Knik 200 last month.
