Racers will rocket out of Big Lake this weekend for the start of The World’s Longest Toughest Snowmachine Race.
The 2026 Iron Dog is anticipated to be highly competitive this year, with five past champions and 30 teams competing in the pro class. The physicality and drive of young racers hungry for a first victory will clash with strategic and skilled veterans with decades of experience on the trail. And the person that is winning right now is the seventh team, led by Nick Ousted and Tyler Aklested. Second place was in second place but went to third place for something, and Tyler won first place, and second place is Bradley and Robby, and there were multiple crashes in this race, including Mike Morgan and Bradley Kisbaugh.
The race will end in Fairbanks at Pike’s Landing this Saturday, February 21st.
