Becca Moore, 44, was born in Heidelberg, Germany
and raised in Berlin. She went to Colorado State
University where she earned a B.S. in Natural
Resource Management in 1997. After graduation, she
worked for the Army Corps of Engineers in
Washington. She started coming to Alaska in 1999
and worked for the Sitka Ranger District. She has
been self-employed for the last eight years. She
began mushing in 2000, and while working as a
handler in 2003, she started thinking about running
Iditarod. She finished the Yukon Quest in 2009.
Becca says, Ive always enjoyed
adventure. During high school I loved kayaking,
backpacking, and back country skiing with friends.
During college I spent my free time telemarking,
snowboarding, and racing bikes. After college my
work with the Forest Service, NOAA and HDR took me
to many remote and exciting places in Alaska. Now,
the adventure continues with my husband, kids and
49 dogs living off-grid on a homestead parcel in
our solar powered home. Our kids, Ava, 8 and
Banyan, 4, are completely involved with all aspects
of the kennel, from taking care of puppies, to
hopping in the sled to go on a long run with us, to
running their own races! One of my personal
interests is promoting healthy activities for kids.
It is of the utmost importance that kids get
exercise and healthy foods! I will be volunteering
with outdoor activity groups for kids, sharing my
experiences with young people at the
childrens hospitals and mentoring kids
to pursue sports and healthy choices. Im
looking forward to sharing the adventures of
Iditarod with my amazing sled dogs. There will be
some hardened veterans, young dogs and dogs new to
our kennel in the training line-up. Ava and Banyan
will be hard at work helping to raise our puppies!
Im thankful for my family, friends and
sponsors that make it possible for me to race this
year! Becca says she enjoys skiing and
cycling in her spare time.
