Biography
Mark Moderow celebrated his birthday on June 28 by signing up to run the 2004 Iditarod. He was born in North Dakota fifty-three years ago. He came north in 1974 to enjoy the outdoors, then chiefly, mountain climbing. He has practiced law in both private practice and as Corporate Counsel to GCI, since 1975.
Mark and his family have all raced the dogs from their kennel. His son Andy, now 21, completed four Jr. Iditarod’s and went on to finish 17th in the Iditarod in 2001. Mark’s daughter, Hannah, 19, also completed four Jr. Iditarod and many other IPSSSDR events. Wife, Debbie started the 2003 Iditarod but scratched in Shaktoolik, 950 miles into the race.
Mark lists his hobbies as outdoors, cabins and sled dogs.
