Wilderness Mushers 60 Mile Race

Piper Ashley--I am 15 years old; I live in Fort Kent Maine. I’ve been running for 7years, 4 years ago I had a litter of 12, I am looking forward to racing this season.

Julia Klaucke--Julia moved to Maine recently to pursue her dreams of running amid-distance team. It's all about the dogs and being out together on an adventure. Each dog brings something unique and special to the team. Julia loves seeing the dogs bond and grow together as they train and race. It's a beautiful
and special thing to be working with such incredible athletes and friends.

Luc Gaudreau--Will be retired in the spring of 2025. Been racing mid-distance since 2014. Got a young dog team eager to race!

Alex Gurka--This is our second year racing the 60 mile. I have a mixed team of Siberians and Alaskans.

Megan Moberly--Hi, my name is Megan. This is my third time at the Wilderness Sled Dog Race. This race has a special place in my heart, and the trail is one of my
favorites. I have been running dogs since 2013, starting with a rescue I ran recreationally I now run a team of purebred Siberian Huskies comprised of my own dogs as well as some dogs from Sibersong Sleddogs. My goal is always the same, for my team and I to have fun on the trail and to finish strong with tight tugs and wagging tails. We appreciate the race and volunteers for what they do so
that we can continue partaking in this wonderful event.

Jaye Foucher--I have been racing dogs since 2003. I have a kennel of 35 dogs, mostly siberian huskies but some alaskans as well. I have run the Beargrease Marathon, UP200, and Can-Am 250 multiple times as well as many shorter racesthe past 20 years.

Wilderness 35 Mile Race

Charlotte Carroll--This is my thirteenth year of mushing. My son and I started out
with one dog and we are now up to twelve. I have been a volunteer for this race
for the past three years. Two years I helped with the finish line timing. Last year I helped with announcing from a lawn chair with my foot in a cast. I have seen parts of the trail from the checkpoint and road crossings, but this is my first year taking a team out on the course. After hearing lots of stories about the trail, I look
forward to being out on the trail with my son and all of the other mushers.

Thomas Carroll--Thirteen years ago I got into this sport. Every year I add more dogs to my kennel. This is my fourth year participating in the Wilderness Sled Dog race. I love being out on the trails with my dogs and the other mushers. I plan to
move to Alaska in the future.

Sally Manikian--I’m excited to race here at Greenville once again! I love the challenging race course and the wonderful community that supports the race.
This year I’m racing a team with a lot of two year olds, some of which raced last year as yearlings, but they’ll be led by expert lead dog sisters Skee and Squan.
Home is the White Mountains of northern NH, and my day job is working in land
conservation, and I have been lucky enough to race on land I helped conserve for
public access. Many thanks my wonderful partner Chuck for helping keep dogs
happy, healthy, and well trained, and to the neighbors and volunteers who help
keep trails open and groomed in our training grounds. Looking forward to racing!

Lea Allen--I m an English professor from New Brunswick, with two teens and 15
dogs. I've always spent a lot of time outside (growing up with horses on a
homestead, making maple syrup and growing our own food in the garden), and dogsledding provides a nice balance to the sedentary office work that my job
entails. I also enjoy the friendships that I've developed as a result of joining the
mushing world.

Fayth Weed--Fayth is a Flight Nurse and Certified Veterinary Technician who has
been volunteering with Wilderness Sled Dog Race since 2023. Fayth has
volunteered at sled dog races all over the country both as part of the veterinary
team and as a handler working with racing sled dog teams. She worked in
Emergency Medicine and Critical Care as a Certified Veterinary Technician for many years and transferred her skills into human nursing and now is a Registered Nurse working with a helicopter service that flies all over New England and
specializes in critical care and retrieval of patients. When Fayth is not volunteering as a veterinary technician or working she is a recreational musher helping to train
sled dog teams and assisting sled dog kennels. She lives at home with her three
Siberian Huskies and loves hiking and adventures with her dogs.

Garrett Moore--Garett has been mushing for 3 1/2 years and is excited to
participate in his first year of racing!

Paul Theriault--39th year running sled dogs. 2nd place in the 2023 Wilderness 35 and 3rd place in the 2022 Wilderness 35
Maxime Fournier--I've been practicing dog mushing for a long time, but I started
to race only in 2023. It's gonna be my first attempt on a 100-mile race. I own and train sled dogs for over 23 years. I made multiple expeditions in the first years. Since 2011, I provide dog sledding tours in the Gaspé Peninsula.

Sarah Gazo--I fell in love with dog sledding four years ago. A recreational ride
turned into a passion for working with sled dogs. Being in the woods with these
dogs is my happy place and has filled a hole in my heart that I didn't realize was
there. And this course is exceptionally fun and beautiful.

Patty Richards--The dog team and I are thrilled to return and see all the friendly
and smiling faces in Greenville ME! We ran the race in 2023 with broken
equipment but we made it across the finish line. This year we return with our
Siberian huskies and look forward to a fun filled run. I have been running Siberian
Huskies with Ingrid Bower for 6 years. I dedicate the race to all 24 Siberian huskies
at Thesewoods Kennels in Underhill, Vermont. While 8 huskies make the run
today, it takes the entire kennel of dogs to make our race team. We spent months
running in mud, slush, rain and snow. It truly takes a village as is said but for me it
is the 4 legged kind. I have run the Wilderness race as well as Can Am in Fort Kent
Maine including the 100 mile run. I have also run Brownsville, Lamoille, and
several small races in NH.
