Banquet live stream!

This is a forum for general discussion of dogsled racing, with a special focus on Alaska, and is open to all. It is expected that this area will see the most activity during the months leading up to, and during the annual Iditarod sled dog race. Pictures from races can be posted here. Hosting is provided by the Bering Strait School District (BSSD), and the area is open all year. Care to be one of our volunteer moderators? Contact us!

Tidbits I learned from listening to the banquet:

  • Larry Daugherty is running Jason Campeau's dog (mentioned that he'll be mushing with Jason in his thoughts for a "safe and speedy recovery", but didn't give any further specifics).
  • Ray Redington is running some of Paul Gephardt's dogs, because he's down with cancer :( (Paul is undergoing stem-cell treatment)
  • Meredith Mapes is the youngest musher in the field
  • Scott Janssen says this will be his last ID for the foreseeable future (I think he said he wanted to travel?)
  • Dee Dee is also retiring from ID after this year
  • Mitch read a poem (of sorts?) from Dallas
  • Jessie Royer got a sponsor - Living Well Essential Oils
  • Lev Schvarts is hoping to have a competitive team next year
  • Charlie Bejna is hoping to have a competitive team this year
  • Anna B dedicated her race to their dad who passed away last summer
  • Kristy B has "an amazing new husband Andy" (Andy Pohl, who's also running this year. They met in Ophir, apparently)
  • Anja Radano (who's German) - picked #24 which is what she wanted - said it was "awesome" and she was "really excited"
  • Michelle Phillips will be taking a bunch of the dogs that Ed just brought through the YQ
  • Emily Maxwell is running Nic Petit's dogs
  • Peter Fleck from England is running a Mitch Seavey puppy team
