Ed has been mushing for 12 years. This past year he has been a member of the UP 200 board and hopes that this race is going to be one of the best ever. Even after finishing three Iditarod races, in 2004, 2005, and 2006, the U.P. 200 is still his favorite race. Ed loves the relationships he develops with his dogs while mushing. He is looking forward to this year’s race so he can have bragging rights as the “best musher in the family”! Watch out, Tasha!

Important Note: The position displayed is the order the team(s) entered or exited the checkpoint(s) and may not be an indication of their true position. Each team’s rest time plays an integral role. There is a 16-hour rest time requirement, plus the minutes added by the starting position of each musher to even the playing field (they leave the starting chute in two minute increments). The only exception to this note is on the final checkpoint where the order in which the teams cross the finish line is the order of finish (assuming they have met the required rest time).
