CB300: Debrief — Part 3 — The Mushers
In our Part 3 wrap-up, Allen and Aliy talk about “the mushers.” From high points to low points, what they think about on the trail and how they stay focused when they know family members are “out there.”

I sat down with Allen and Aliy over the weekend and filmed a “debrief” with them about the CB300. I’ve edited the video into a three part series that I think you will find very interesting. In Part 1, I ask them about the race in general and they respond … Read More
Aliy On The Cover Of Mushing Magazine

CB300: Allen Moore’s Dash To The Finish
