5— Mike Bestgen from St. Cloud, Minnesota.
Age 66.
Mike has been running dogs since 1999, mostly in the Midwest, and in marathon and mid distance races. He’s a three-time winner of the WolfTrack Classic Sled Dog Race in Ely, Minnesota, two-time Midnight Run champ, and runner up at the Klondike Sled Dog Derby. ” A lot of my training is done on farmland, so very flat. I came out to do the Pedigree Stage Stop two years ago and fell in love with the people, trails and the race.”
