Bio
2013 Rookie
Anchorage, AK
Christine Roalofs, 46, was born in Ohio and raised
in Louisville, Kentucky. She received her DMD from
the University of Louisville and a certificate in
Pediatric Dentistry from Children’s Hospital
in Buffalo. In 1999, following completion of her
residency, she moved to Wasilla, where she worked
as a pediatric dentist for two years. She then
moved to Anchorage and opened her own practice. She
also contracts with Norton Sound Health Corporation
to provide dental care to young children in Nome,
Shaktoolik, Gambell, St. Michael and Brevig
Mission. She began mushing in 2006. She says,
“After volunteering for the Iditarod several
times, I got the ‘bug’ and started
building my own team. Several short races later, I
was ready to tackle some qualifying races. After
several years of 200-300 mile races, I am ready to
travel the Iditarod Trail with my dogs. I have a
motley and lovable crew ranging in age from three
to 10 years old. I purchased most of my dogs from
other mushers but did have two liters of puppies. I
maintain a small kennel in Anchorage and am looking
forward to experiencing all Iditarod has to
offer.” In her spare time, Christine enjoys
road and mountain biking, guitar, t-ball coaching
and quilting.
