Ed Wood of Eagle River, AK

Open North American Championship (ONAC) is the premiere sled dog sprint race in the world, attracting the best sprint mushers from the United States, Canada, Europe, and Japan. The three-day race is run every year in March from downtown Fairbanks, Alaska, with runs of 20 miles the first two days, and a 30-mile run on the third day.

 

The ONAC is the oldest continuously run sled dog race of any kind in the world. First run in 1946, the 2009 race will be the 64th running.
