JACKSON, Wyo. – Organizers of the Pedigree Stage Stop Race today announced the 2021 race is a go for next year with modifications in place to slow the spread of COVID. Race director Dan Carter said the Pedigree Stage Stop Race, now in its 26th year, intends to move forward following all federal, state, and local public health guidelines. He shared the new updates and open entry dates for the upcoming 2021 Pedigree Stage Stop Race which is scheduled to kick off January 29, 2021 in Jackson, Wyoming. “Like all event organizers, we remain flexible and adaptive as new information becomes available. The changes we have instituted regarding our entry policies are designed to offer potential competitors the opportunity to begin planning for the 2021 race while minimizing any financial risk in doing so,” Carter said. Race application dates Organizers will accept the first round of entries on September 1, 2020 in order to allow everyone an extra few weeks to monitor the COVID-19 situation. Modifications to entry fee refunds In order to provide mushers a greater degree of confidence when submitting an application, race organizers have amended the usual entry fee refund policy. The following changes are in effect this year: Entry fees will be refunded if the race is canceled prior to the start of stage one. Entry fees will be refunded if a musher is not able to enter the United States because of border-crossing restrictions related to COVID-19. Entry fees will be refunded if a musher tests positive for COVID-19 prior to the start of the race. If any entered musher tests positive for COVID-19, and recovers before the event, he/she will remain eligible to compete. Entry fees may be refunded if an entered musher cohabits with a person who tests positive for COVID-19. If the race is canceled after it starts The following guidelines will apply in the unlikely event the race is canceled due to a COVID-19 related scenario after it starts. The ceremonial start will not be considered a “stage.” If four or more stages of the race are completed and the remaining stages are canceled, the race will be considered complete.
