Kurt Barnum, 39, was born and raised in California. He began mushing in 1996, and in 1999, he moved to Montana to run dogs. He says that after running some other races, "I was inspired to run the Iditarod to race the best teams." "I enjoy raising my own dogs and living close to them and spending each day together. We are part of the same pack. We are only content if we are all together. We embrace the challenges we are faced with on the trail and racing other teams. We enjoy exploring new country and look forward to becoming more familiar with Alaska." Kirk is a forester and river runner and says his hobbies are boats and fishing.
