The Race
Country music icon, television personality, celebrated outdoorsman, and patriotic Army veteran Craig Morgan is partnering with Monster Energy for the 2,600 mile Iron Dog Snowmobile Race. Further, Monster Energy will feature a full line of energy and protein shakes at the event.
“As a part-time resident here in Alaska, I can’t wait to partner with Monster Energy on this long standing tradition in the state,” shared Morgan.
Set to take place in Big Lake, Alaska, the race will begin on February 13 and finish on February 20. In addition, Morgan will join pro class riders for the final day of the longest snowmobile race in the world. The event will continue with safe COVID-19 precautions in place.
Racing in rugged events and races is absolutely not out of the country singer’s league. In 2013, Morgan participated in Fjällräven Polar, a 200-mile, five-day dog sled race that kicked off in Sweden before making its way through three countries.
