Mocean, LLC, a subsidiary of Sitnasuak Native Corporation, is proud to announce sponsorship of musher Aaron Burmeister in the 2018 Iditarod.

The Iditarod is known as the last great race. It is an Alaskan dog sled race and recognized as a world class sporting event with the best mushers from around the world participating every year. The race starts in Anchorage and ends in Nome – spanning over 1,000 miles. Aaron has successfully competed in the Iditarod 17 previous times, finishing 10th, 7th, 4th and 3rd in his last 4 races.

Aaron was born and raised in Nome, Alaska, and married to Sitnasuak Native Corporation Shareholder Amanda (Michels) – daughter of Betty Ann Hoogendorn. According to Aaron, “My life has revolved around dog racing since childhood, and for the last 25 years I have been raising a competitive kennel of Alaskan racing huskies with one goal in mind: to be an Iditarod Champion.”
