Ramey Smyth, 32, was born in Alaska, the son of Iditarod veterans Bud Smyth and the late Lolly Medley. He says he's been mushing since he was a young child. He ran the Jr. Iditarod three or four times and ran his first Iditarod in 1994 and has only skipped one year since. He is a log builder and says his hobbies are "hunting, reading, soccer and helping friends and family. Ramey says, "I am entering the Iditarod to either win or gain experience I can use to win. I love to run sled dogs and am a dog lover in general. My wife, Rebecca, and I just had a daughter and this has brought great competitive focus to my efforts. I feel honored to have the privilege of competing in a race like the Iditarod." Their baby, Ava, will be a year old in November. |
