Hi Boys and Girls, I use to run on a recreational team. Our team often shared the trail with snowmobiles. The first time was a little scary because they were big and loud and passed by us fairly close. Almost all the snowmobilers were friendly. They slowed down, they waved, they thought what we were …

Hi Boys and Girls, This is really an exciting race. Who’s in the lead? Jeff? Brent? Aily? Brent?. It’s like watching a ping pong ball go back and forth. The top mushers are very close together. This is where all their preplanning and strategy will come into play. Do you want to make a guess …
Hi Boys and Girls, It’s Friday!!! While most of us will get to relax the next 2 days, the mushers will still be hard at work getting their teams down the trail. The teams are moving nicely down the trail. Most of the 24 hours rests are completed. Did you see any changes in the …
