Biography
Becca Moore, 44, was born
in Heidelberg, Germany and raised in Berlin. She
went to Colorado State University where she earned
a B.S. in Natural Resource Management in 1997.
After graduation, she worked for the Army Corps of
Engineers in Washington. She started coming to
Alaska in 1999 and worked for the Sitka Ranger
District. She has been self-employed for the last
eight years. She began mushing in 2000, and while
working as a handler in 2003, she started thinking
about running Iditarod. She finished the Yukon
Quest in 2009. Becca says, “ I’ve always
enjoyed adventure. During high school I loved
kayaking, backpacking, and back country skiing with
friends. During college I spent my free time
telemarking, snowboarding, and racing bikes. After
college my work with the Forest Service, NOAA and
HDR took me to many remote and exciting places in
Alaska. Now, the adventure continues with my
husband, kids and 49 dogs living off-grid on a
homestead parcel in our solar powered home. Our
kids, Ava, 8 and Banyan, 4, are completely involved
with all aspects of the kennel, from taking care of
puppies, to hopping in the sled to go on a long run
with us, to running their own races! One of my
personal interests is promoting healthy activities
for kids. It is of the utmost importance that kids
get exercise and healthy foods! I will be
volunteering with outdoor activity groups for kids,
sharing my experiences with young people at the
children’s’ hospitals and mentoring kids
to pursue sports and healthy choices. I’m
looking forward to sharing the adventures of
Iditarod with my amazing sled dogs. There will be
some hardened veterans, young dogs and dogs new to
our kennel in the training line-up. Ava and Banyan
will be hard at work helping to raise our puppies!
I’m thankful for my family, friends and
sponsors that make it possible for me to race this
year!” Becca says she enjoys skiing and
cycling in her spare time.
