Ray Redington, Jr., 32, was born and raised in Alaska. The grandson of Iditarod co-founder, Joe Redington, Sr. and son of Iditarod veteran, Raymie Redington, Ray says that he's been mushing since he can remember. "Iditarod has always been around my family." After running the Jr. Iditarod several times, he took a break from mushing. He began racing again in 2000. He is married to the former Julia Flodin, daughter of Iditarod veteran, Steve Flodin. Ray is a member of the IOFC and the Laborer's Union. Currently he is building a new home for his family in Knik, where he recently moved to be closer to family. Ray and Julia's daughter, Ellen will turn three during the 2008 Iditarod. Ray says he enjoys hunting and fishing.
