After Saturday bumps up to $55 per team through Feb. 9, and $65 per team Feb. 10-16. Registration is limited to 150 teams for the popular event. So jump on board now.

Chiditarod organizers are hosting a design contest to determine the new designs created for the event's embroidered patches, t-shirts and posters. A winner will be chosen for each category, but you have until Midnight Jan. 26 to enter.
