Iowa residents travel north to help at Gunflint Mail Run

The Gunflint Mail Run Sled Dog Race starts Jan. 6 at Trail Center Restaurant and Lodge, located 30 miles up the Trail from Grand Marais. There are dozens of volunteers lined up to lend a helping hand during the two-day event. Among them are a group of Iowa residents who are making a return trip to the Mail Run in 2018.

WTIP Volunteer Julie Carlson spoke with Shay Davis, a member of the group from Iowa, about why they make the trip to the Gunflint Trail to help out during the race.
