The Hope Race or Hope Sled Dog Race is a defunct sled dog race between Nome, Alaska and Anadyr, Russia, across the Bering Strait. The race was established in 1991,^[1] shortly after the fall of the Soviet Union, and according to information on the race's (now inactive) website, the race was run as recently as 2004.^[2] Racers covered 1000 miles, but did not actually race across the Bering Strait. Teams instead were shipped across the strait on boats and raced on land.^[1] In 1995, Alaska musher Bob Holder became the only person to compete in the Hope Race, Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, and Yukon Quest in the same year.^[3]
