With snow absent, fate of North Shore’s John Beargrease sled dog race is uncertain

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:24:07 GMT

GRAND PORTAGE, Minn. — A lack of snow may delay next month’s annual John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon.Mike Keyport, president of the Beargrease board of directors, said a decision will be made in the first week of January on whether to postpone the race’s Jan. 28 start date to March 3.With the 300-mile route from Duluth to Grand Portage nearly snowless, Keyport is hoping this winter’s warm weather will cool and enough snow will fall to reach the preferred 18-inch base of snow on the trails.But the National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center’s 8-14 day outlook and January through March outlook both predict above-normal temperatures and below-normal precipitation for the region.“I would say I’m not in panic mode, but very concerned,” said Keyport, the great-grandson of John Beargrease, an Anishinaabe man who delivered mail along the North Shore via dog sled.If there ends up being more snow farther north, organizers are also considering moving the start line from Billy’s...

The DC and Warner Bros. superhero sequel starring Jason Momoa earned an estimated $28.1 million in its first three days of release in 3,706 locations in North America, according to studio estimates Sunday. By Monday it is projected to have around $40 million in domestic ticket sales.Despite many new offerings — including the family friendly animated film “ Migration,” the R-rated romantic comedy “Anyone But You,” the wrestling tragedy “ The Iron Claw ” and a ghostly tearjerker in “ All of Us Strangers ” — this will go down as a quieter pre-holiday frame at the box office. Moviegoing audiences perhaps just had other priorities than going to the cinema. It is never great for Hollywood or theaters when Christmas Eve falls on a prime weekend day, but the last time Christmas was on a Monday, in 2017, “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” dominated the four-day charts with $71.5 mil...
