Jesika Reimer
Jesika is back, and we're delighted to see this gorgeous photo again which just about captures everything that both Jesika, and this race, is all about. Jesika won our 8-dog race this year, in her first season of running 100 mile races. She is back and we can't wait to catch up with her once again. Jesika's home base is Emigrant Gap, California, but her work as a wildlife biologist takes her travelling all over. She loves her outdoor adventures with her dogs, and skijors as well as runs a small sled dog team.
