Insider 2.0
Iditarod Insider 2.0 offers a glimpse into the lives of Iditarod sled dogs and the people who engage with them every day of their lives.
They are lives full of energy, activity, and wellness. We visit with those that spend their summers on the glaciers, to others that spend their days near their wilds of Denali, and all stops in between. Insider 2.0 sets out to take you inside their lives, far from the trail and a look at a life of joy, camaraderie, and a level commitment that has few rivals.
Paige Drobny had her first top 10 finish in the Iditarod in 2019. As she explains it about a kennel that is coming of age.
He’s living a dream! Travis Beals grew up knowing that his life was going to be lived with dogs. His kennel and his potential are growing in unison in Seward Alaska where he operates a tour business and builds his Iditarod Team. Welcome to Turning Heads Kennel.
Quito was one of the greatest lead dogs in the races history. And for Aliy Zirkle the pain was real when we talked to her at home about her prized Quito. You’re outside of Fairbanks, Alaska.
Iditarod Champ Pete Kaiser proved that you can live off the road system in Alaska and still win the race! We traveled to Bethel to catch up with the humble Kaiser and met his team on their turf.
Not many have finished more Iditarod’s than Dr. Robert Bundtzen. We caught up to him near his home in Anchorage to see whats in store for 2020.
What an opportunity! Tim Pappas has finished the Iditarod before but for 2020 Martin Buser has given him the keys to the “A” team. The 4-time Champion has taught many finishers the ropes of being a good dog driver and he thinks Tim is ready for this challenge.
