Established in 1980, the John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon is the longest sled dog race in the lower 48 states. It takes a lot of preparation to conduct this nearly 400-mile event. Rhonda Silence learns more in this interview with longtime volunteer, Mike Levig. Levig works at the marathon starting line and logs hundreds of miles on the Beargrease route each year placing signs.
