Sam Deltour, 22, was born in Belgium and still makes his home there where he is a medical student. In the winter of 2007, he worked with a tour business in Italy. He moved to Alaska this spring to work with Seavey's Racing Kennel to "chase some stupid dream." He will be running a Seavey puppy team in the 2008 Iditarod. "At the age of 12, I saw a documentary about the Iditarod. I spent my youth dreaming about mushing snow dogs. A year ago, I decided to follow this dream. The Seavey family offered to let me run their puppies in the 2008 Iditarod, a great opportunity, a dream coming true. I 'm always looking for challenges or adrenaline rushes such as a triathlon, mountain marathon, survival run, nitesurfing are just a few of the things I do to keep myself busy." His hobbies include: kitesurfing, snowboarding and hiking. Sam is single.
