Burmeister, bib number 44 joined the small crowd of leaders in the small town of Kaltag minutes ago as the abreviated team gets ready for the coast of the Bering Sea and Nome.
Thirty-six year-old, Aaron Burmeister was born and raised in what is now his destination, Nome. A certified teacher and graduate of UAF, this sledder is the general manager of Civil Construction. A lifelong dogger, he is the son of Richard Burmewister, veteran Iditarodder.
Aaron surely won’t be the last of the contendors in the family, his son, Hunter is sure to join the fray in future years.
