Wade Marrs
Knik, AK
I was born and raised in the Knik area outside of Wasilla, Alaska and have been behind a dog team since I was born. The biggest influences for my mushing are my late uncle and the Redingtons. I was a quiet kid, learning the ropes of mushing, not asking many questions, just listening to words of advice from the many mushers visiting the Redington home in Knik. I have served on the Iditarod’s Board of Directors and as the IOFC president, I look forward to continuing being an advocate for the mushing lifestyle and the future of this sport. Moving from Alaska to Wisconsin fall of 2021. Looking forward to meeting all in the Lower 48 mushing communities and participating in this new racing circuit. When I’m not with my dog team I like to adventure, fish, hunt, build, and spend time with my wife Sophie and our son Mack.
