In 1980, the Iditarod Committee decided to have “Wild Bill” Shannon share the honor. Since then, the directors have chosen one or two people, not necessarily mushers, who have made a significant contribution to the sport of sled dog racing. The Honorary Musher is listed as the first one out of the starting chute. 1973 Leonhard Seppala 1995 John Komak 1974 Leonhard Seppala 1996 Bill Vaudrin 1975 Leonhard Seppala 1997 Dorothy G Page 1976 Leonhard Seppala 1998 Joel Kottke & Lolly Medley 1978 Leonhard Seppala 1999 Violet “Vi” Redington & George Rae 1979 Leonhard Seppala 2000 Joe Redington Sr., Edgar Nollner & John Schultz 1980 Leonard Seppala & “Wild Bill” Shannon 2001 Don Bowers & RW Van Pelt, Jr., DVM 1981 Edgar Kalland 2002 Earl Norris & Isaac Okleasik 1982 Billy McCarty 2003 Howard & Julie Farley 1983 Charles Evans & Edgar Nollner 2004 Terry Adkins & Harry Pitka 1984 Pete MacMannus & Howard Albert 2005 Larry Thompson & Jirdes Winther Baxter 1985 William A Egan 2006 Gene Leonard 1986 Fred Machetanz 2007 Susan Butcher 1987 Eva Brunell “Short” Seeley 2008 Max Lowe 1988 Marvin “Muktuk” Marston 2009 Rod and Carol Udd 1989 Otis Delvin “Del” Carter, DVM & John Auliye 2010 Oren Seybert 1990 Victor “Duke” Kotongan & Henry Ivanoff 2011 Tom Busch & KNOM 1991 Wild Bill Shannon & Dr.

Fueled by an all-consuming passion for running dogs, Paulsen entered the grueling 1,180-mile race across Alaska in dangerous ignorance and with fierce determination. For seventeen days, Paulsen and his team of fifteen dogs ran through breathtaking and treacherous Arctic terrain. They crossed the barren, moonlike landscape of the Alaskan interior and witnessed sunrises that cast a golden blaze over the vast waters of the Bering Sea. They endured blinding wind, snowstorms, frostbite, dogfights, moose attacks, sleeplessness, hallucinations - and the relentless push to go on. He crossed the finish line, but it wasn't enough: Paulsen was obsessed and wanted to race again. Though the dangers of the Iditarod were legion, more frightening still was the knowledge that he could not stop racing dogs of his own free will.

  • PRESS KIT [email protected] SYNOPSIS
    Contact: Cinetic Media Linzee Troubh 917-860-0106 PRESS KIT [email protected] SYNOPSIS The Great Alone is a feature length documentary film shot in the arctic wilderness of Alaska that captures the inspiring comeback story of champion sled dog racer, Lance Mackey. From his sunniest days as a boy by his famous father’s side to cancer’s attempt to unseat him, The Great Alone pulls viewers along every mile of Lance’s emotional journey to become one of the greatest sled dog racers of all time. LOG LINE The Great Alone is a feature length documentary film that captures the inspiring comeback story of champion sled dog racer, Lance Mackey. Director’s Statement It was approximately 3am on day 4 of the 2013 Iditarod, while I was waiting for Lance Mackey to arrive at the Takotna checkpoint, that I was finally able to articulate why I set out to make The Great Alone. The Takotna checkpoint is situated in the tiny, remote village of Takotna, Alaska (population 52) and is known for the homemade pies that the villagers serve the Iditarod mushers, volunteers and visitors. Before we set out on our filmmaking journey we were told, “Make sure you film Lance in Takotna, the pie is amazing.” It was great advice.... I guess Lance Mackey is a lot like a piece of pie. Once you get a taste of his story and personality, you want to share it with others. And like a homemade pie, the tin is often dinged up, and the crust might not look perfect, but inside is a delicious recipe refined by time, wisdom and soul.
