Biography
Mille Porsild, 53, (Veteran) was born and raised in Denmark. Growing up, Mille would sit in her grandfather’s basement surrounded by drawings, mystical carvings and seal skin clothing, listening to his adventures as a kid across the ice with his sled dogs. That’s when Mille imagined she wanted to grow up to live her life with sled dogs. Mille started running a team of Polar Husky sled dogs on a three-month-long dog sled expedition in Canada in 1992. She was hooked. Ever since Mille has lived with her sled dogs to experience the people and places in the magical North while finding ways to share the adventures with people around the world. In 2011 she entered her first sled dog race, running the 800-mile Nadezhda Hope race in Chukotka, Russia. After moving to Alaska, Mille became the 2020 Iditarod Rookie of the Year. Mille lives in Alaska with her sled dogs, but she is still Danish. In addition to racing, she does expeditions with Team Racing Beringia.
