We have some exciting news! We know, what could possibly be more exciting than puppies...
We would like to announce that Matt & the Smokin' Ace's have signed up for the 2018 Iditarod! This will be Matt's Rookie run to Nome and excited to see the historic trail.
But don't worry you die hard Quest fans--Matt will be running the 2018 Yukon Quest as well! Matt was raised on this trail and loves it for all the sweat and tears it has delivered over the years.
So there you have it, two 1,000-mile races two weeks apart! Who's ready for an exciting season?!
