Lance Mackey, 38, was born and raised in Alaska. The back to back two time Iditarod champion and four time Yukon Quest champion (and current record holder) says he began mushing "at birth." "I grew up around racing and the Iditarod. I was at the finish line in 1978 to see my father, Dick Mackey, win by one second. In 1983, my older brother, Rick, won. Both my father and brother won wearing bib #13 in their sixth Iditarod." 2007 was Lance's sixth Iditarod and he won wearing bib #13, just as he had planned. Lance is a member of the Board of Directors of the Yukon Quest and a member of P.R.I.D.E. His interests include "Dogs/Family/Dogs!" Lance and Tonya are the parents of Amanda, 20, Brittney, 18, Alanah, 17 and Cain, 16.
