In Glenallen, Ala., this weekend, several dozen mushers are grabbing their sleds and letting their dogs out for the Copper Basin 300 sled dog race. Mushing is Alaska's official state sport, and many people in the state mush recreationally and/or competitively. While some Alaskans jump on a sled and take hold of the reins as soon as they can walk, others come to it from an entirely different direction. Alaska Public Radio's Rebecca Sheir has our story about a woman who found the sport after a modeling career.
