Aliy, Quito, Waylon, Nacho, Chica, Willie, Clyde, Pud, Olivia, Boondocks, Mac and Sissy left White Mountain 4.00pm.

Right now is when they need YOU! For the next 10-odd hours scream, holler, pray, send good vibes, cross your fingers – do whatever you can to help get our Red Team friends here swiftly and safely.

The trail is reportedly (unsurprisingly) hard and fast with little snow and lots of glare ice. It will be technically and physically challenging for them all and, as we all know in mushing: anything can happen.

Aliy will know you’re all watching and willing her on and that will give her a boost as she gives it everything she has. Let’s give it everything we have! GO TEAM!

  • I'm yelling, screaming, hollering, praying,, keeping fingers (and toes) crossed, and sending positive thoughts and vibes into the universe for Aliy and her team. No matter the outcome, I think Aliy has run an incredible race in less than ideal condition and in record time, and I have a lot of respect for that.

    Thank you SP Kennels for your wonderful updates. You've definitely kept us "in the loop" and we love you for it!

    So…"live from the East Coast," , go Aliy, go. May Quinto's nose cross the finish line FIRST!
