Mile 0, Iditarod National Historic Trail, Seward AK
Saturday, August 15th, 2026
In honor of the legendary Dan Seavey, The Iditarod Trail Blazers and Seward Sports and Recreation will be hosting the second annual Dan Seavey Trailblazer 5k. Dan was a founder of the Iditarod Trailblazers and even competed in the very first Iditarod race. For this memorial race we thought it only made sense that there would be dogs running along side the participants.
There are 4 Categories for the 5k:
Race Rules and Requirements:
Bib Pick Up
Bib pick up will start on race day at 8:30am and will end at 1:00pm.
Post Race Celebration:
Festivities will continue at the Branson Pavilion after the race.
