Matt Hayashida and lead dog on an Alaskan glacier

About Us.....
My name is Matt Hayashida I am married to Sarah Spinola, we have 2 daughters Lily, 2, and Gracie, born this spring 2007.

We spend our winters north of Willow, AK training and racing. We live off the grid and busy ourselves with the challenges of this as well as the care of our 50 sled dogs.

In the spring we pack everyone up and head to Juneau, AK to offer tours to cruise ship passengers. Matt ran Iditarod '97, 97 and '07, has won the humanitarian award in several races as well as rookie of the year honors.

We have a competative kennel year after year and our ultimate goal is running in the Iditarod, and at the same time have a well rounded life! is this possible?
