The Beargrease 120-mile race first place finisher has made it across the Trestle Inn finish line early Monday morning. Joanna Oberg crossed the line with a time of 15:05.15 per race officials Monday morning.

Oberg is from Grand Marais, Minnesota and she operates a fishing and hunting resort in northwestern Ontario with her family in the summer. They keep a small kennel called ‘Run Silent Racing’, which holds between 15-20 dogs with adults and puppies.

Oberg loves dogs, excitement, adventure and the outdoors so it was a perfect fit! She was 14 when she got her first sled dogs, a Samoyed and a Siberian Husky.

Last year’s champion Rita Wehseler came in second.

Editor’s Note: A previous version of this article stated that Nick Turman came in second in the Beargrease 120. According to Beargrease officials, Turman took the wrong trail to the finish line and is therefore now listed at “Did Not Finish.” There were also some discrepancies in the timing sheets. Officials say the issues have been identified and corrections have been made for future races. This article has been updated, however the video clip has not.
