Join the Team is a fun and interactive program. We hope that YOU become a team member this season.
For years, we have brought all of our “team members” along with us down the long, winding, twisting, chilly Iditarod race trail. Individual names of all “team members” are printed onto a Team Members Sheet then laminated for protection along the 1,000 mile route. These individuals are part of the adventure.
They have endured extreme cold temperatures and harsh blizzards.
They have triumphed through overflow, open water and slushy rivers.
They have traveled under tremendous skies full of stars or rippling northern lights.
“Team Members” are also along for emotional support. When the going gets tough, a musher’s mind might search for inspiration or motivation. Are you someone who can offer that crucial “pick me up”?
If you are up for the challenge and not intimidated by the possibilities, then
add your name and Join the SPK Team .

The SPK TEAM membership is open.
For $100, you can become an SPK TEAM Team Member. Soon after you join, Team Members will find their name under the Team tab (at the top of the page).
Team Members will receive, in the mail, this season’s unique membership Certificate featuring a photo by Whitney McLaren as Aliy and the team near the finish line in the Copper Basin 300. This race was a record-breaker as far as chilly temperatures. A big thanks to Whitney for allowing us to use this image. We know that the SPK Team Members will appreciate the challenge of photography at temperatures below -50º F.
Aliy and the SP Kennel Crew are easily recognisable out and about by their iconic red beanies! For those of you who don’t already have one or wish to have another, you can choose an upgraded membership pack that includes a red beanie. If you would like to add one to your package, for an extra $15 you can choose the “Upgraded Membership” option. Note: beanies are not available on their own, you can only get one through the upgraded team membership.
We clear the rosters of SPK Team members at the start of each season on October 15, then add team members to the new season’s list. Team membership packets are sent out starting in November until the end of March.
If you are purchasing a team membership as a Christmas present we recommend you do so before November 15. Let us know by email at spkdoglog@gmail.com if you wish us to delay displaying the team member’s name on the roster so we don’t spoil the surprise!
Official Team Certificates change every year to show the season of membership. So, Join The Team every year and collect them all!
