Looking forward to the upcoming race on February 23 at 2:00 PM Knik Lake.

It has been a while. We have had a very busy summer guiding season in Alaska and Utah this fall, a total of 106 days guiding backpacking, rafting, kayaking in Alaska and mountain biking in Utah. Now is the time to shift our focus to the upcoming race on the Iditarod Trail. The 2014 race roster is stacked with a great field of veterans and very qualifies rookies and the roster has been full since May.
We have a new website thanks to Guy Jennings and Apula Design in South Africa.
IditarodTrailInvitational.com as well as a new race logo.

The race roster is found here:
