Our Mushers

Long dark nights, snowed in roads, one trail shared by snow mobiles - it's just another evening for those who live and run dog teams in the northern parts of our continent. For those who are passionate partners of dogs and live for the proximity to nature, it doesn't get any better than being a long distance musher.

Head-Lites is very proud to sponsor a select group of mushers each year as we armchair mush along side the world's toughest athletes. You can join them too by liking their respective Facebook pages to keep up to date with how each team is doing! Here's are some of our mushers, present and retired!
