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.

2023 Iditarod Champion Ryan Redington has spent most of his winter in Alaska because of the lack of snow down south. It gave us the opportunity to catch up with him to chat about winning, training and the defense of his title.
We caught up with Amanda Otto in Denali Park, Alaska as she prepares for her 2nd Iditarod. She talk’s training, favorite spots on the trail, the Dalzell in the dark and patience!
