Here We Go!
/And just like that…..we’ve signed up for the 2021 Iditarod Sled Dog Race!
All spring, we’ve been discussing the next race season. What races should we compete in? Iditarod? Yukon Quest? Both? Which mid-distance races? Will races even happen?
There has been so much uncertainty, but the one thing that has remained certain is that we have 43 Alaskans Huskies, with 24 potential racers, and we’re ALL amped for adventure. So here we go!
Our decision to enter the Iditarod was made easier by a few factors:
1- The Iditarod is providing a 50% discount for entries received in the month of June (that’s $2,000 off!).
2- The first 50 mushers to sign up for Iditarod will be awarded the Pike Veterinary Stimulus of $500 to apply towards veterinary expenses.
3- We haven’t been on the Iditarod trail since 2016, so it’s about time we go back for more exploration!
Beyond the Iditarod, we’re not sure of other racing plans, but we’ll be sure to keep you all informed as decisions are made. Kalyn will be returning for another season (YEAH KALYN!!!!), and we also have a new recruit - Mandy. More info soon to come.
In the meantime, here is a video from our 2016 Iditarod to get you all excited! Thank you to everyone for following along and being apart of the Ryno Team! We couldn’t do this without you all!
