Ellen Halverson, 55, was
born and raised in North Dakota. She received her
degree in Biology and Music Education at Concordia
College in Minnesota and then went to medical
school in North Dakota. She has been a psychiatrist
since 1991. She moved to Alaska in 1998 for a job
at the Alaska Guidance Clinic, which is now
Providence Behavioral Medicine. Ellen began mushing
when she moved to Alaska and finished the Iditarod
in 2007. “In many ways, I ‘m not a
newcomer to Iditarod. I feel like I have so much to
learn and master to complete Iditarod successfully.
There are always many things that affect the
Iditarod, the weather, the trail, health of the
dogs. I feel I can do a better job of preparing
myself and the dogs for this adventure. I am the
most content when I am out with the dogs. I have
not been successful in completing Iditarod in my
last two attempts. So I am back this year with my
furry friends to “get ‘er done.”
“The help and support I received on the trail
is heartwarming and much appreciated .” Ellen
has a son, Peter, age 12. She lists her hobbies as
Icelandic horses, fitness, health and
biohacking
Rookie in 2007. Halverson, 46, was born and

previous attempts to run Iditarod,." she says.
