The numbers after their names are their starting position.
Allen and Hugh have been battling for two years – Hugh won in 2012, and Allen in 2013 with the other coming in second. They will probably be the teams at the front.
John is starting his 17th Quest and won twice in the 1990s. Dave Dalton has already started 23 Quests and finished 18 times.
Curt Perano is a Quest rookie, but he has finished an Iditarod.
Mike Ellis runs pure-bred Siberian Huskies, which are always the best looking team in any race. He has some beautiful dogs.
