| 1 | Kristen Marchiliani | Kennel Name: BOP Siberian Huskies ClB Sponsors: one anonymous sponsor Where I live: Canyon Creek, YT Day job: Semi-Retired How long mushing: Since 2002 How I stared mushing: Started Skijoring with one dog, a Siberian x shepherd? in 2002. Till then never even heard of skijoring, that summer stared bikejoring and got interested in the Siberian husky breed and began adding to my team about one per year. 2006 my husband built a sled so I started do that as well as the skijoring and bikejoring. Got more dogs, moved from Grande Prairie, AB to the Yukon with 8 dogs in 2012 and then my team grew a bit more the last 4 years. Why am I running the Knik Race: a friend suggested I try the Knik after I did the race so I thought that should be interesting going to Alaska to run a race. I find I learn so much when I enter races so I thought we would try the Knik 100. |
