Eddie Burke, Jr.

Hometown: Willow, Alaska


Biography

Eddie is a born and raised Alaskan who started his mushing career in 2021. Since then he has put together an impressive resume, including first place finishes in the Knik 200, Willow 300, Goose Bay 150 and the Tanana Valley 100 to name a few. He is also a top three finisher in the Kusko 300 and Kobuk 440. In 2023 Eddie ran his first Iditarod, taking home the Rookie of the Year Award and a top ten finish.

To this day Eddie continues to push himself to bring a high level dog team to this year’s Iditarod. Without the support of his wife Jace, his two daughters Emilia and Arlie, none of this would be possible. Eddie would also like to thank his sponsors for their generosity and making this dream a reality.
