14 — Anny Malo from St-Zenon, Quebec, Canada.
Age 52.
Not only has Anny competed in the Stage Stop the last four years (2019 – 2022), she’s won every single time. She’s a biologist, Executive Director, and owner of Bio-Forest Management Rivest with her husband, Marco. “I began mushing in 1995 when I met Marco. He was just 18 years old, already had his own kennel, and was competing in the mid-distance circuit in Québec. We made a trip to Alaska in 1998 as handlers for Joe Redington’s kennel, and that was the ultimate launching pad for the rest of my mushing career. We’ve traveled with our two sons, Tristan and Elliot, for over 16 years to participate in the mid-distance circuit in Canada and USA. That’s the best life ever!!!”
