Kali, 14, is the daughter of Iditarod veteran, Trent Herbst and lives in Ketchum, Idaho, with her parents and younger sister, Kiri. Kali says she’s been mushing since she was three years old, but this will be her first race. A freshman in high school, Kali participates in track, orchestra and journalism. She says her other hobbies are bike touring, playing violin, pack rafting and writing. She doesn’t know what she’ll do once she graduates. She says, “That’s a long way away!” As to whether she will continue mushing, all, her only comment is, “I’m enjoying it now!”
