Located about 200 miles east of Kotzebue, Ambler is the midway point of the Kobuk 440 Sled Dog Race. Ambler volunteers put in sleepless nights to make the stop welcoming.

Musher DJ Starr shows photos of previous races and gives advice to Zander Downey as they sit together in The Boys and Girls Club in Ambler on Saturday, April 9, 2022.

Community members greet musher Jeff King as he arrives into Ambler during the Kobuk 440 sled dog race on Friday, April 8, 2022. After giving their dogs food and water, all the mushers came inside. There, the volunteers prepared gifts for them: handmade beaver and fox hats, sealskin gloves and fabric cozies for serving dishes. Hugh Neff was rewarded for being the first musher in town, Ebbe Winstrup Pedersen as the first rookie, Miriam Osredkaras as the first — and only — woman musher in the race, and DJ Starr as the last musher to arrive.

“I almost gave up this year,” she said about making the hats, “but my brother said, ‘This is what mushers go for here.’ … This is our moment in Ambler, the big get-together.” Kobuk 440 race volunteer Martin Cleveland adjusts musher Hugh Neff’s timecard before Neff departs Ambler for Kobuk on Friday, April 8, 2022.
