Biography

Ryan?Hunter?Redington is a distinguished American dog musher from Knik and Skagway, Alaska. Born into mushing royalty, he is the grandson of Joe Redington Sr., the “Father of the Iditarod,” and grew up immersed in sled-dog culture—hooking his first team “as soon as he could hold onto the sled”. Ryan made his mark early by winning back-to-back Junior Iditarods in?1999 and?2000. Throughout his career, he competed in sprint and marathon races across Alaska and the continental U.S., including multiple Kobuk?440 victories in?2019 and?2021.

In March?2023, after 15 attempts and with a team of six dogs, Redington captured the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race title—the first in his family’s storied history—crossing the finish line in Nome in 8?days, 21?h,?12?m,?58?s. As an Inupiaq musher, he not only fulfilled a lifelong dream but also signified a cultural milestone as the sixth Alaska Native to win the race. Ryan continues to champion Alaska Native heritage and preserve mushing traditions with his children, Eve and TJ, ensuring the legacy endures
