"Running North" tells the true story of Ann Cook, her husband, George, and their young daughter, and how their Siberian huskies became the first team from the lower 48 states to finish the Yukon Quest dogsled race.
Ann Cook's spirited account of how she, her husband, George, and their young daughter moved to Alaska to run the Yukon Quest, the toughest sled dog race in the world. Running North tracks George on his horrific race through the Yukon, recording the frostbite, the hallucinations, the steep cliffs, the circling wolves, and the nights out on the ice at minus sixty degrees Fahrenheit. This is the great story of struggling against nature and surviving. But Running North is, first, the story of Ann Cook. Ann drove the truck, carried the gear, raised the dogs, egged the racer on, and held the family together - all while paying close attention to the strange, intimidating, humorous, and breathtaking world unfolding around her.
