The Kobuk 440 Buy-a-Mile Program
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)!
