Subject: From Our Team to Yours – Thank You!
Dear Friends, Fans, and Sponsors:
We just wanted to take a moment — between feeding, training runs, and dog snuggles — to tell you how much your support means to us. Seeing Double Sled Dog Racing exists because people like you believe in us, our incredible dogs, and the sport we’ve dedicated our lives to.
2025 brought some unexpected turns. Kristy is taking time to focus on her health, and with the rising costs of racing, we’ve made the tough call not to run the Iditarod in 2026. It wasn’t an easy decision — we love that trail and everything it stands for — but we know it’s the right one for now. 2026 will be the first time a Berington hasn't appeared on the Iditarod roster since 2009!
That said, we’re not slowing down! We are already signed up for the Knik 200, and our race calendar also includes:
Kristy is also racing outside of mushing this winter — she’s on her fat tire bike and signed up for the Susitna 100 (Feb. 2026), and she’s looking to add a few more bike races to her schedule as well. And together, we’re keeping ourselves strong and challenged as athletes by running a marathon in October (Whistle Stop, Ashland, Wisconsin). We’ve always believed that being athletes ourselves helps us be better mushers — and honestly, our dogs inspire us to keep pushing our own limits. Their drive, joy, and determination keep us motivated every single day.
At the heart of our kennel are the dogs — each one with their own personality, goofy quirks, and endless desire to run. They’re our family. And, in a way, so are you. Your support has carried us through the highs, the lows, the storms, the sunshine, and all those quiet miles under the northern lights.
We’re heading into this season with full hearts, strong teams, and so much gratitude for everyone who makes it possible. Thank you for being part of our story. We’ll be carrying your spirit with us on every run.
With love and snowy paw prints,
Anna & Kristy Berington
