14 — Stéphane Roy from Sainte-Anne-de-Madawaska, New Brunswick, Canada.
Born and raised in Sainte-Anne-de-Madawaska, Stéphane started dog sledding at the age of five with his dalmatian, and it quickly became a daily activity. In the last four years, he’s competed in the Can-Am Crown International Sled Dog Race, La Chic-Chocs 40 (first place in 2024), Defi Lotbiniere Nahak (second place in 2024), and Cross Lake Trappers Festival Race (fourth place in 2024). In 2025, Stéphane competed in the Stage Stop for the first time. “I had dreamed of running the Pedigree Stage Stop Race for a long time and am glad I made it again this year”.
