About ATAO Kennel
Goals
236 of 300 patrons
Reaching 300 subscribers / month will allow me to continue giving the dogs the best year round, and to go the extra step of saving towards more big races. Perhaps down the line we may even be able to aim for exciting plans like running the Quest and the Iditarod in the same year, or attending one of the incredible rural Alaskan races like the Kobuk 440, or the Kuskokwim 300.
