Ramey Smyth
Willow, AK, USA

Ramey Smyth, 33, was born in Alaska, the son of Iditarod veterans Bud Smyth and the late Lolly Medley. He says he's been mushing since he was a young child. He ran the Jr. Iditarod three or four times and ran his first Iditarod in 1994 and has only skipped one year since. He is a log builder and says his hobbies are "hunting, reading, soccer, boxing, history, fishing, and "my primary is getting to spend time with family." Ramey says, "I love to work with sled dogs and see them develop. I love to feed them and care for them. My family, wife, Becca, and daughter Ava, 1 ½, are my first priorities. They keep my head on straight. My wife loves the dogs too so we are good together as a team and we both like the same things. I am running to win.".
