Print article The Kuskokwim 300′s COVID-19 mitigation plans proved to be a boon this weekend for Aniak’s Richie Diehl and some other top mushers from the Bethel region. Diehl, who usually opts for the lucrative Kusko 300 instead of its shorter companion race, claimed his first Bogus Creek 150 title early Sunday morning by beating a couple of Kaisers. It was minus-10 when Diehl reached the finish line on the river near Bethel’s small boat harbor at 4:59 a.m., just in time to break the 17-hour mark by a minute.
