One of Minnesota's most recognizable winter events kicks off this weekend up along the north shore. The 39th running of the John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon.
Some of the best mushers in the country will be heading to the north shore this weekend, and among them will be a St. Cloud man. Mike Bestgen is one of about 60 competitors in the various races during the John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon.
Nothing screams rugged Minnesotan like this upcoming weekend's John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon from Two Harbors to Grand Portage and back to Duluth on the trails along the north shore at Lake Superior.
Thirty mushers and 420 dogs are hitting Minnesota trails in a rebooted John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon that offers new features to make it easier for fans to follow along.
