Sydnie Bahl Iditarod Musher

Sydnie is attempting her 2nd Iditarod. No snow in 2025 changed the course to go through Fairbanks, making it the longest Iditarod in history and an already tough race tougher. Sydnie gives us a sneak-preview into this year's Iditarod and what it's like running an Iditarod.

Iditarod Coach Vern Halter

Sydnie's Iditarod coach is retired, long-time musher, Vern Halter. We pull out an interview from 2012 when Vern was training a young man from Brazil, Lujan Marques. Fun interview!
