Chair

Tre-C lives in Anchorage and loves spending time in Willow. Her pets, including her two sled dogs, are her favorite family members but don't tell her husband that. She has spent nearly 20 years in and around the Mat-Su Valley, mostly as a mountain guide and outdoor educator. Tre-c hopes this race will bring light and community to the Valley's dark January nights.

Vice-Chair

Co-Race Director

Leddy is a musher in Talkeetna, AK at her kennel, Celestial Sled Dogs. She is currently raising a young group of dogs for distance racing and is excited to bring another mid-distance mushing event to the Susitna valley.

Secretary

Andy first got involved in dog mushing after adopting a flunked out sled dog named Pringles. He has volunteered at the Rohn Checkpoint for Iditarod where he learned how to park a dog team and appreciate Tang. He is excited to give back to the community by helping run the Su Dog 300 event. In his free time you can find Andy working as a RN at the local hospital, coaxing Pringles down the trail, and chasing his wife, Kai, up a mountain.

Treasurer

Marianne was involved with Alaskan Malamutes for several years prior to her daughter becoming involved with Alaskan Huskies. She is a main sponsor to her daughter’s racing kennel in Willow, working behind the scenes, well off the runners. She has been involved with organizing mid distances races in the Willow area, working as a volunteer at the Iditarod restart, handling local carnival races and she is currently working as Office Manager for one of the local tourism companies in Willow. While her background is in education, she has found that many of the skills needed to organize a classroom come in handy when working behind the scenes in the mushing community. In addition to working in the background of racing and kennel management, she also creates ruffs, mitts and hats for many of our local mushers and other outdoor enthusiasts.

Board Member

Lev, 45, lives in Willow Alaska. He had a decade long career in sled dog racing, unmarred by any measure of success. Aside from dogs, his hobbies involve metalwork, complaining, and the elusive front lever.

Co-Race Director, Board Member

Allie lives in Palmer and has fostered several retirees through the August Fund, a non-profit charged with finding loving retirement homes for distance and sprint dogs. She has worked in outdoor education/management all over Alaska since 2019 and spends her free time participating in dryland events, skijoring, and obedience training with TJ!
