Jenny Roddewig is a second-generation musher who was riding in a dog sled before she could walk. She started out running her father’s dogs before beginning a successful breeding and training program of her own, Sage Mountain Sled Dogs. She has logged many thousands of miles on a dog sled and is most proud of receiving eight Humanitarian Awards over the years. As a junior she placed top 5 with her own team in the Junior Iditarod from 2011-2013, receiving two Humanitarian Awards and two Blue Harnesses. She has competed in many mid-distance races in the lower 48. She won the Race to the Sky 350 in 2014 and received the Humanitarian Award. She was fifth place in the 2015 John Beargrease Marathon, and has won numerous 100 mile races including Race to the Sky, Eagle Cap, and Beargrease 120. Jenny took a pause on competitive distance racing to finish her college degree, during which time she met and married her husband, Michael Roddewig. Though she didn’t race as much, her and Mike honed their skills of backcountry travel by dog team and maintained their kennel. They moved from Montana to Fairbanks in 2022 and have been bringing up a young race team. She and her husband enjoy camping and traveling with their dogs and have spent many nights in the winter backcountry. She is excited to support this fun-first race.

Dallas Seavey Racing

Musher Bio:

I began mushing dogs at eight years old with my twin sister and our two cocker spaniels. The addiction of mushing grew from there, my sister and I encouraged each other as we both competed gymnastics through college while balancing training sled dogs and applying to vet school. I am beyond blessed for my family and friends who have helped me pursue dog mushing.

Gog is the son of South and has become one of our stand out leaders as well as one of our biggest dogs and will still climb into a lap if allowed.

Musher Bio:

I started at a tour kennel in Michigan in 2012. After two winters there I came up to Alaska to handle at an Iditarod kennel and bounced around the state in the off season. I’ve been in Willow for 6 years now where I’ve met my wife, started our kennel, and built our home. I love seeing new trail with the dogs and sharing the trail with friends.

Musher Bio:

I have been mushing my own dog team for over 20 years. I live in beautiful Trapper Creek. We’ve had many great adventures, especially the 2020 Serum Run from Nenana to Nome. We traversed 700 miles of Alaska and although I haven’t yet run the Iditarod, I have seen many of those magical places from a dogsled. I run dogs because they make me happy. We like to race both locally and in the Two Rivers races. In the past few years, I have raced the Knik 200, the Goose Bay 150, and the Solo Sweepstakes. Also, I raced the ‘24 Yukon Quest 80 in negative 40 - 50 degrees F! I signed up again this year, this time for the YQA 200. I guess I’m kinda crazy for a challenge. I would like to thank Brenda Mackey and the Redington family for helping me get my own line of dogs started. I currently have 35 dogs, including two beautiful litters of spring pups! For the last three years, we have been working in tourism. I worked at Dallas Seavey’s kennel as a mushing guide in 2022 and 2023, running the famous Seavey dogs. This year, I was able to join my own dogs in giving tours in Skagway for Alaska X. I learned a lot and look forward to returning to Skagway in 2025!

Rock On Racing

Lead Dogs:

Lynx (pictured) and Boye

Musher Bio:

In June of 2020 our kennel started out with Bundtzen & Ulsom dogs. We added some King dogs and have had five litters of our own. They are the Rock, Freedom, River, Sharpshooter and Outlaw litters. It is hard to pick a favorite dog as each one is so special and I love them all. Over our four racing seasons, Lynx has been one of my most trusted leaders. We call our dogs Rock Stars because that is exactly what they are! Rock On Racing is our family kennel and is made up of Matt, Casey, AddieAnn, Thale Randall and the Rock Stars (the dogs). As a family we work together to raise, train and race our dogs. It is a lifestyle that is full of hard work every single day. It is also full of love, adventure, and a lot of dog hair. As a mom, I am extremely proud of our children for the way they take care of our dogs, the responsibilities they take on, the confidence they have gained and the life skills they have learned through dog mushing. I grew up in Michigan and I’ve lived in Alaska for almost 25 years. I am thankful and grateful for all of the blessings in my life. Our dogs are part of our family and the most wonderful creatures.

My name is Emily Krol, and I’ve called Alaska home since 2007. That year I was gifted a dog sled ride with Redington Mushing. Little did I know how much that day was going to impact the rest of my life. Two years later, I began running dogs with that same kennel. After a couple of seasons competing, I stepped off the runners but remained actively involved in volunteering. In 2023, I had the opportunity to take on a group of yearlings and took the dive back into training a team. This past season I also got back to racing, taking 1st place in the 2024 Goose Bay 150. Now, I’m excited to tackle my first 300-mile race!

I've been involved with the sport since 2002 when I volunteered on the vet team for the John Beargrease Marathon Race in Minnesota. Being a LVT I loved the enthusiasm and energy from the dogs. I started my kennel in 2013, and moved to Alaska permanently in 2016. I now have 44 dogs total, with my original dogs starting to retire, my current race team is a mix of their bloodlines and most are dogs I have bred and raised myself.

Born in Washington, D.C., Anne E Corrigan was raised and educated on the east coast. After an eye-opening season of mule-packing in Idaho in 2021, Anne followed the advice of a friend who said, "if you liked this, you'll love working with dogs in Alaska." She was right. Anne has spent the last two winters helping at Squid Acres Kennel getting to know the dogs, Cody, Paige, and the Denali Highway. She now lives in Fairbanks and works for the National Renewable Energy Lab, but couldn't stand the thought of a winter without training dogs. She extends a huge thank you to Paige, Cody, and all the Squid family who has taught, supported, and given her the opportunity to be on the trail.

Seavey’s Ididaride

Lead Dogs:

Butch, Max, Ollie, Thor, Apollo

Musher Bio:

I’m from Moose Pass Alaska, and have grown up around sled dogs most of my life. I spent seven summers working for the Seavey family running tours, but never really had the desire to mush in the wintertime. Two years ago I made a definite decision that I’d take a break from my biggest passion teaching snowboarding, to fully commit my life to running dogs. I am beyond privileged to spend my second winter working with the most special group of dogs I trained as yearlings last season. These pups will accompany me on their very first race and will be my third qualifier. The stoke couldn't be higher to share the trails with these athletes and their mushers.
