The Kobuk 440 Buy-a-Mile Program

Picture
You can ceremonially sponsor your very own mile of the Kobuk 440 trail for only $44.00!

With your help, we can raise up to $19,000 for Kobuk 440 programming through individual sponsorship from mushing fans like you. This year's fundraiser will be available for until April 30, 2023.

​Thank you for your support!
Successful funding of this program will help us in our mission to perpetuate the Iñupiaq tradition of distance mushing in the Arctic. Funds will be used for the Kobuk 440, the Taaqpak 120, the Junior Kobuk 440, straw/dog food for Northwest Arctic mushers and pet owners, and more!

Here's how it's done:

1. Choose a mile number, or multiple  mile numbers (between 1-440)!
2. Check the spreadsheet below to ensure your miles are still available.*
3. Scroll down to purchase your mile(s)!**
4. Look for your unique badge on our Facebook page, and share with friends and family!***

***Our Facebook page is public and can be viewed without an account. Buy-a-Mile sponsors will also be acknowledged on our website. Badges can be posted on our Twitter page by request (you can tweet at us once your badge is posted to Facebook).


Please keep in mind that there are potentially 440 individual sponsors to process, and our volunteers are doing their best to respond to each one. Taikuu!

Thank you to our 2023 Buy-a-Mile Sponsors!
