Meet Sarah
Sarah
Musher/Owner
Sarah grew up in Pennsylvania and always dreamed of running dogs in Alaska. She started out with a team of border collies as a teenager, and moved to Alaska in 2008. She started Deja Vu Sled Dogs in 2017 and shortly after, she began working for ACHILL, a youth dog mushing program. She currently runs Nome Dog Mushing 4-H Club and sits on the Nome Kennel Club board. Sarah has run several mid-distance races around the state, including the Willow 150, Goose Bay 150, T-Dog 200, and Nome-Golovin 200.
There’s no place like Nome
Nome is located on Norton Sound of the Bering Sea, and the winters here are known for being intense, with blizzards sweeping across the tundra and no trees to slow them down.
Every March, the Iditarod comes to Nome, with hundreds of sled dogs finishing their 1,000 mile trek on Front Street.
We love this region for its subsistence and recreational opportunities… we bounce between the mountains and the ocean, and enjoy exploring everything in between.
