12 —Alix Crittenden, Bondurant Wyoming.
Age 37.
Alix has been a professional musher for Jackson Hole Iditarod Sled Dog Kennel for many years. With her husband Sam’s support, she’s battled a brain tumor which was diagnosed about two weeks before last year’s race. Undaunted, every day she cheered her handler, Jess Moore, who finished third. Alix is excited to be back on the roster and wants to be on the top of that podium. “A battle with cancer makes everything physically harder but, somehow, at the same time makes it all feel easier mentally. I’m glad I’ve had dog mushing in my life to make me tougher and I’m ready for the race.”
