Meet Noah Pereira – junior Iditariod champion!

Today we met Noah and his father Lou from Brockport, NY. They are the owners of Avalanche racing (avalancheracingkennel.com). We learned that Noah won the junior Iditarod last year and he was also the first nonalaskan to ever win the race! He Showed us his adorable lead dog Rain and his sled and equipment he uses to race. He told us he’s always been interested in mushing, but did not get started officially until he was 14. At 16, he had won the junior Iditarod. We loved hearing all the stories he shared. He trained under the leader Dallas Seavey and learned a lot from him. He told us for great information check out DallasSeavey.com.
