Here they are! Allen Moore and the SPK Black Team passing under the burled arch in Nome to finish the 2013 Iditarod!

With 13 happy, healthy dogs on the line, Allen’s team of youngsters — and a few senior veterans to help teach them — finishes in 33rd position. His goal of giving the Kennel’s next generation of premier racing sled dogs a positive, successful experience of Iditarod is very well accomplished.

Congratulations to Allen and all of the fantastic dogs of the SP Kennel Black Team! We are all very proud of you!

  • Macgellan is understating how difficult this year was for anyone to make it seem a positive experience, especially for young dogs – if you listen to Insider video on Martin Buser, or some of the other finishers (John Baker, Jessie Royer, Brent Sass): so congrats toAllen and the Black Team – and especially to Macdaddy and Clyde the rookies and all the other youngsters and thanks to Viper and the other leaders for doing such a great job!!!

  • Congrats to Allen! Congrats to Aliy! Congrats to the pups, veterans and rookies alike! Congrats to Meghan, Moira, Ray, Bridget, and everyone else at SP Kennel, you ALL are a fantastic team! Thanks for all of the great updates and videos and photos. Thanks to Macgellen for taking over the blog posts for Moira. As a fan I got so much more coverage of the training and race season than I would have ever imagined. I felt like part of the team.

    I have no finger nails left as I chewed tham all off watching Aliy's exciting finish trying to catch "that slippery sucker" Chatted with some great gals on Aliy's facebook page and cheered her in, we were poling and kicking helping Aily out 🙂

    Best wishes to all,

    Red Team, Black team, Support Team, thank you again for such a great race this year! You all were wonderful and so sharing with the information all along.

  • Congratulations Allen! As we see from all of the unfortunate mushers who have had to scratch, it is not easy to finish. How great to finish with the future of SPKennel's dog leaders.

    Once again, congratulations to Aliy for her 2nd place finish. You both are so good for your sport. I am very proud to be able to say, I am a fan of SPKennel.
