01 / OUR STORY
THE BEST PART
OF THIS TEAM
HAS FOUR LEGS.
I'm Kristal, a fifth generation dog musher, born and raised in Alaska. I've been running dogs since high school, with races like the Willow 100, Jr. Iditarod, Knik 100, and Knik 200 under my belt. My favorite part of mushing is building dogs' confidence, developing strong athletes, and watching a team come together.
This winter, we're chasing something big: qualifying for the Iditarod. It's going to take a whole lot of miles, hard work, and trust between me and the dogs.
A huge thank you to Juliah DeLoach at Oilwell Creek Kennel, who owns and supports the incredible dogs I'll be running this winter.
Come get to know the dogs, follow along, and cheer us down the trail.
