Join us for coverage of the 2023 John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon.

Beargrease's rising star still on the ascent with tenacity and joy

Frank Moe

This year's big celebrity at the John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon isn't one of the returning mushers like Nathan Schroeder or Ryan Anderson. He's not a Freking or a Redington, either, but he's probably the only one of the bunch who's had a People magazine story written about them.

In the harsh glare of television lights and photographer's flashes stands the guy of the hour, grinning happily.  And because he's Frank Moe's blind sled dog, Indy - he's utterly unfazed by the fuss.
