A third dog died on March 12 at the 2024 Iditarod, the 1,000-mile race of animal cruelty held every year in Alaska. A three-year-old male dog named Henry is the third death in three days. Two other race dogs, Bog, a two-year-old, and George, a four-year-old both died on Sunday. "The Iditarod is the shame of Alaska," said Tracy Reiman, PETA's executive vice president. "How many more dogs need to die before this stops?"  These are the first deaths of dogs in the race since 2019. PETA Sr.campaigner Melanie Johnson, who has worked to end the Iditarod for six years, talks to host Emil Guillermo about how these deaths heighten the urgency to end the race once and for all.

Episode 60 of The Mental Game features Brent Sass, one of the greatest dog mushers in the world. A titan of the industry, Sass has etched his name as one of just six to win the two biggest sled dog races: the Iditarod (2022) and the Yukon Quest (2015, 2022). Born in Minnesota, Sass has desperately wanted to live in Alaska and pursue dog mushing since he was a little kid. Now, he lives a life completely removed from the outside word, dedicating 100% of his energies to his craft: training and bonding with his dogs. Sass is a firm believer in the crucial importance of the mental game, both for himself on the sled and for his dogs. His insights into how his mental game affects that of his dogs is fascinating, as is his complete devotion to the dog sledding life. On The Mental Game, Sass takes us through: Why he's fully immersed in dog mushing and what led him to Alaska What the mental game of a dog looks like The structure of a race, which involves weeks at a time in wind chills that can reach −100 °F Much more Enjoy and remember to be kind to yourself.

Iditarod sled dog teams are into the first 200 miles of trail, after the race clock started ticking Sunday. Mushers are pacing their dogs and there's a lot of leapfrogging going on out there, as they follow their own run-rest schedules. In this episode, we have a look at the competitiveness of the small field, and we have our Dog of the Day -- a big boy named Boomer -- as well as a listener question about day jobs, for those who do not list their fulltime occupation as "dog musher."

Even if you know next to nothing about Alaska, you've probably still heard of the annual Iditarod sled dog race, where teams of mushers travel with their dogs hundreds of miles across frozen alaska, racing to the remote town of Nome. The race kicks off the first weekend of March with a festival known as Fur Rendezvous or Fur Rondy. Mushing is more than a sport-- it's a lifestyle. And it puts those racing it into extremely isolated, middle of nowhere, survival situations as they make their way from Willow to Nome. So I wanted to know what that's like, and how it connects the musher to nature. And to learn that, I brought on the podcast Kristy and Anna Berington, identical twin Iditarod racers. If you're listening to this in early March when I'm releasing it, Kristy and Anna are both out there racing their individual dog teams as you're hearing this. And now you can hear our conversation from 2021 for a little bit of insight into what makes dog racing special, as well as the nuts and bolts of how it works.

On a recent sub-zero day on a frozen lake in central Minnesota, I got a chance to witness great team leadership in action.  It was a crash course in what leading winning teams is all about.  Here's what the experience was like, and five key lessons from the leaders themselves that we can all use in leading our own teams.Notes and Resources:Prefer to read?  Here's the full post:Leading Winning Teams: 5 Leadership Lessons from MushersA great article posted on LinkedIn by Aaron Phillips goes even farther into detail with his conversations with several of the mushers featured in this podcast.If you are interested in a deeper dive into the interface between mushing and leadership, an hour well-spent would be with the Always in Pursuit podcast interview with 5x Iditarod champion musher Dallas Seavey, hosted by Mike Burke, an exceptional leader in his own right.  Quotable:“I have to figure out how to make each dog reach its best potential.”- Libby Riddles, first woman to win the Iditarod“They're a great team because I eat beans and rice and they eat steak and eggs. - Iditarod musher Lance Mackay“Good leaders do not secure their position by making others less confident.   - Caroline Blair-Smith, Musher“It is not what the challenge is, it's how the team handles the challenge.”- Dallas Seavey, 5-Time Iditarod Champion“My job is to make sure these dogs succeed.  The race portion will take care of itself.”- Dallas Seavey Related posts: How to Respond to Crisis: Four Steps for LeadersPositive Feedback – Catch them Doing Something RightRapid Deliberation: 7 Ways to Hit the Target While Under Stress

On February 12, 2006, this day in weather history...brutal weather was responsible for trapping and stranding  five Yukon Quest mushers and their team on Eagle Summit. These racers and their teams were stuck on a mountain ledge, and their area for waiting it out is now knee deep in snow with the wind creating the bitterest of wind chills given that they are exposed at that elevation.

Nothing about Alaska captures the imagination quite like sled dog racing and mushing. Imagine bundling against sub-zero temperatures and then forward standing on a sled pulled by a team of dogs -- and, for the long distance events, doing it for days on end. And while the races are only in the winter, keeping and caring for the dogs is a year-round thing. Dog racing is truly a lifestyle.  In this special episode of Humans Outside, two world-famous mushers and identical twin sisters, Kristy and Anna Berington, share with us not just everything you’ve ever wanted to know about mushing, but also a window into the special connection the sport creates with the outdoors.

Canadian cruise ship ban effectively cancels Alaska’s 2021 cruise season; Mushers with Skagway ties dominate Beargrease Marathon dog sled race; Students participate in Skagway’s first Native Youth Olympics club The post Newscast – February 5, 2021 first appeared on KHNS Radio | KHNS FM.

Mushers are leaving the Skypoint checkpoint this morning heading to Mineral Center. Then it's a four-hour mandatory layover, a 30-mile loop, and it's back to Mineral Center for the race finish - probably this afternoon. Musher, Beargrease champ and KUMD's race reporter John Stetson has the details. 2 pm UPDATE: Both Erin Letzring and Sarah Keefer passed Ryan Reddington midday on the trail to arrive at the Mineral Center checkpoint first and second, respectively. However, the required amount of cumulative rest for each marathon team means that Ryan Reddington will depart eight minutes behind Erin Letzring, while Sarah Keefer will be required to depart over a half hour later. In the final leg, an additional factor will be the number of dogs remaining on each team, and how that affects both that team's speed and endurance.

Friday morning saw Girdwood musher Nicolas Petit charge ahead leading the 2018 Iditarod to Anvik after passing teams resting in the ghost town checkpoint of Iditarod. As the first to reach the Yukon River, Petit is treated to a five-course meal. The main course is bison, which is an animal Whitehorse's Marcelle Fressineau encountered very much alive and not on a dinner plate farther back on the trail. We talk to Fressineau about how she fended off the bison with an axe, as well as some of the Alaska Native mushers in the race.
