Biography
With a fourth place finish in 2024, Jeff Deeter is back to Iditarod for another year and looking to claim that top spot. “This year’s training team is comprised of 20 Iditarod finishers and some of our most talented two and three year olds. This is the toughest group of dogs that I have ever had the pleasure of running, and their ability level exceeds my expectation at every turn.”
After running the 2008 Iditarod at the age of 19 Jeff took ten years away from the race to focus on building a home and business in Fairbanks, Alaska. He and his wife KattiJo own and operate Black Spruce Dog Sledding, a year-round tour business focused on educating people about the sport and lifestyle of long-distance mushing. In addition to the Iditarod, Jeff and KattiJo travel around Alaska by dog team and have competed in the Kobuk 440, the Kuskokwim 300 and numerous other mid and long-distance races.
