#2 Chris Adkins

2 — Chris Adkins from Sand Coulee, Montana.

Chris grew up running dogs, and competed in his first distance race, the Race to the Sky 500, when he was 21. He entered the Stage Stop in 2010 as training for the Iditarod and fell in love with the trails of Wyoming. Chris has retired from the building industry, and he and his wife Shannon, with the help of the kids, operate Mo Betta Sled Dog Racing, a 50-plus dog kennel in Sand Coulee, Montana. This will be Chris’ eleventh Stage Stop. “I’m looking forward to being back on my favorite trails with dogs that I love,” he says.
