Tasha Stielstra is a very popular musher who lives here in the Upper Peninsula. Tasha placed an impressive fourth in last year's grueling U.P. 200 while running the kennel's "A" team. The team went on to run a successful Iditarod under the management of Tasha's husband Ed Stielstra. She is returning for the 2005 running and will be an important contender to watch.

Important Note: The position displayed is the order the team(s) entered or exited the checkpoint(s) and may not be an indication of their true position. Each team’s rest time plays an integral role. There is a 16-hour rest time requirement, plus the minutes added by the starting position of each musher to even the playing field (they leave the starting chute in two minute increments). The only exception to this note is on the final checkpoint where the order in which the teams cross the finish line is the order of finish (assuming they have met the required rest time).
UPSDA MISSION: To promote the sled dog sport, educate the public about sled dog activities, and sponsor a continuous, mid-distance sled dog race in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
