Aletha became a fan of dog mushing after watching the movie, Iron Will, as a child. She spent winters, hooking up her family’s Rottweiler and trying to get pulled down the driveway. Nowadays, she bikes and skijors with her two dogs, Bering and Lena. She’s been a spectator and volunteer in various capacities for the Kobuk 440 and Taqpaak 120 for the past 7 years and is excited to serve on the board in an official capacity.​
