Manley, AK

Charlie Boulding was born in North Carolina in 1942. Before moving to Alaska in 1983, he lived in Montana where he worked on an oil rig. He came to Alaska to run dogs and live a subsistence lifestyle. He says it's been so long that he doesn't even remember when or why he became interested in running the Iditarod.

He won the Yukon Quest in 1991, ran again in 1992 and won again in 1993. After the 1992 Quest, Charlie ran the Iditarod, calling it "my learning year." He has run the Iditarod almost every year since and won the Alaska Commercial Sterling Achievement Award in 1994.

A fisherman and a trapper, Charlie is married and lives on the Tanana River near Manley. He lists his hobbies as "working on the trail and pretty women."
