Biography

Gabe Dunham was born and raised in Fairbanks. Her family moved to Valdez when she was very young and when she discovered her passion for outdoor adventures and animals. She started running sled dogs when she was about 16 years old. Gabe ran her first race when she was 18. For the next nine years she mentored and worked with Linwood & Kathi Fiedler, with Alaska Heli-mush, and learned extraordinary dog care and astounding training techniques from them.

In 2011 Gabe moved to Bend, Oregon where she completed a degree in Fish and Wildlife Management with OSU. She had a small team of dogs and would enter every race she could get to from the Bachelor Butte to Wyoming Stage Stop. In 2018 Gabe moved to Montana while running her own sled-dog tour business, Evermore Adventures. This drove Gabe’s passion for mushing even stronger. In 2019 Gabe was the first woman to finish the Rocky Mountain Triple Crown where she took 2nd place. In 2020 she set a course record in the Eagle Cap Extreme 200. A few weeks later she took 2nd place in Race to the Sky 300. She finished running Montana’s Race to the Sky, loaded her dogs and sled, headed north and moved back home to Alaska. Today she has a kennel of strong, talented Alaskan huskies that love to go on adventures. The Evermore Adventure kennel is looking forward to running down the Iditarod trail.

Gabe would like to take this moment to thank everyone who has supported her along the way over the years. There are so many wonderful individuals and corporate sponsors that have helped her get to the starting line.
The Evermore dogs and I are eternally grateful for your support.
