If you’d like a break from watching the tracker here are the links to some interesting articles about, or including, Aliy.

Emily Schwing wrote “Born To Run: Iditarod veteran in it for the journey” about Aliy for Aljezerra America. Emily is out on the trail following the Iditarod and you can read more of her writing on the Alaska Public Media site.

Douglas Robson visited to the kennel last month and has written a piece about Aliy for Sports Illustrated. This article not only covers her dog mushing career but looks back through her childhood and college years, it’s an interesting read!

Katie Orlinsky wrote for The New York Times about The Women of the Iditarod, about some of the 25 women who entered the 2015 Iditarod.

And, take a look at this great picture from Erin Montgomery, the Iditarod Teacher on the Trail.

Edit: I found one more by Emily Schwing – “Women Who Mush“

  • Thank you for putting the links to all the great articles . Living so far away from the dog mushing scene I have to rely on the Internet for information and stories on mushing . It was great to read the ones on Aliy and Sp kennels , so a big Aussie thanks from Denali and Joanne , melbourne , Australia.

  • The Sports Illustrated article was really good. And the picture of Aliy with the toddler in Galena is priceless. Thank you for sharing all of it.

  • Awesome article in SI….the bond with her dogs certainly defines her as a Musher….everything else is secondary. Regardless of what happens in the next coming days, Aliy and her Team of exceptional athletes are already #1 in our hearts and in our minds! As for the "Spanish Litter"…they are in a class all their own…they are the definition of the perfect Sled Dog!

  • Some good read and pictures, a nice addition to the great updates you have been providing along the way. The Douglas Robson article my favorite. Thanks!

  • These are wonderful articles. The picture of her with the child in Galena says so much. She's like the Queen of Hearts on the Iditarod trail with the people she meets. Just a great ambassador.

    Sending you good energy Red and Black teams as you continue your travels. With you all the way!

    Thanks for sharing.

  • Awesome articles and the picture of Aliy in Galena is just precious. All of the SPK family & crew are such great ambassadors for the sport that it makes me proud to be a fan. Go Aliy & Allen & dogs!

  • Thanks for links and NYTimes did an article about one third of Iditarod racers being women! Of course, it is still mostly about the dogs, but with 16 names to learn for each team…. Am so glad you keep us up to date on who is running which position!

  • Thank you for the links! It is so appreciated! I agree with the others…the SI article is very good. I liked hearing what the other mushers think of her.

  • Thank you so much for the reading material!!! The SI was especially compelling in the sense that it focused on her love for animals throughout her whole life and the incredible bond with her beloved pups!!!
    Love you all for treating us fans with the best updates on Aliy and Allen and the pups in every way!!! You guys are the very best!!!
    Go Aliy!!! Go Quito and the rest of the Red Team!!! You are No. 1 in the world!!!!!

  • Dittos. Great article in SI. Wow what an awesome picture of Aliy with young child in Galena. Aliy is such an amazing person, always willing to interact with her fans. Go Aliy & 16 team mates.
