Biography
Hunter Keefe, 23 years old from Okemos, Michigan, has been dreaming of becoming a musher since he was six years old. He first came to Alaska to run dogs in August 2018 where he worked for the Girdwood Mushing Company on Crow Creek Road. He has since continued to grow his mushing career with Raymie Redington’s dog team and just came off his best season yet with a 5th place finish in the Knik 200, 5th place finish in Willow 300 and won his second consecutive Goose Bay 150. Hunter’s main dream has always been to run the Iditarod and can’t wait to join his fellow mushers on the trail this year.
