Bryce Mumford
Bryce became interested in the sport of mushing after watching an Iditarod TV show several years ago. He found a local Iditarod musher, Sue Morgan, who offered to take him on a dog sled run. He went with her multiple times and was hooked! He used Sue’s dogs to run his first race in 2009.
Bryce says his mushing highlights include winning the ECX 200 once and finishing the ECX two additional times as well as finishing Race to the Sky 300. Bryce recounts a terrifying trail story: “Most Scary Dog Situation: Getting charged by a cow moose. She ran through my entire team and stepped through my sled bag and over top of me as I ducked behind the sled. Luckily, she kept running and all the dogs were unhurt. I never knew moose made such a scary growling sound, but she sure did!”
A funny quote that Bryce resembles: “Every winter my mind turns to mush.”
