Teenage musher Emily Robinson claims her third consecutive victory in the Knik 100 Bruce Braden Memorial Sled Dog Race, showcasing her dominance against seasoned competitors.
Teenage musher Emily Robinson defended her title in the Knik 100 Bruce Braden Memorial Sled Dog Race Sunday in the Susitna Valley. Robinson, who captured the 150-mile race meant for mushers ages 14 to 17 last February, became only the second musher ever to win it three straight years. Sunday’s victory in the Knik 100 came against a field of more experienced mushers, including former Iditarod champion Ryan Redington.
Robinson won in a total time of 8 hours, 30 minutes, 10 seconds, beating out runner-up Eddie Burke Jr. by just over 10 minutes (8:40:27). Stanley Robinson finished third in a time of 8:42:03. Isaac Redington led the first day Saturday with the fastest time of 4:20:18 — Robinson was second-fastest at 4:21:55 — but the Nenana teen beat out everyone Sunday with a blazing split of 4:08:15, more than eight minutes faster than anyone else. The race starts and ends at Knik Lake and takes racers out to Deshka Landing and back, going through the Nancy Lake State Recreation Area. The longer Knik 200, a qualifying race for the Iditarod and Yukon Quest, is scheduled to start Jan. 4, 2025, and follows the same route as the 100-miler but will run it twice with a six-hour layover required. The 100-miler was first run in 2014 and memorializes Bruce Braden, who was killed in a 2009 house fire after years of dedication to the Knik 200 event
