Dave Allgood and Carly Shreck on a summertime run with dogs from Iditarod champion Dallas Seavey's kennel.
TALKEETNA, Alaska - Nothing says “uniquely Alaskan” quite like the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, but what does a six-time champion of The Last Great Race and his team of athletes do in the off-season? They open up their kennel to visitors looking for a taste of what it’s like to mush.
“I wanted to develop something that I would want to do, and it is a blast,” Seavey said. “When we first got these carts I took them out every single day because it’s fun — it’s a lot like mushing in the wintertime.” Once each cart has four dogs in harness, guests take off from the kennel following a gravel trail through the Alaskan wilderness, with handlers driving side-by-sides both at the head and the rear of the teams for support.
