The Iron Dog Race, Inc., Hall of Fame is dedicated to showcasing the rich and exciting history, along with honoring the men and women of the Iron Dog snowmobile event at both the recreational and competitive levels. The inductees of the 2025 Hall of Fame have provided countless memories as racers and race officials, they have supported our organization and racers financially and though encouragement, and provided industry information since the inception of our race. Their efforts have provided support for the foundation of our race and our sport.

This year, the Iron Dog Board of Directors inducted five new members.

“Congratulations to them all, and thank you for all you’ve given the Iron Dog Race.” – Mike Vasser, Iron Dog executive director


Chris Graeber

Chris Graeber has been an Iron Dog fixture since 2007, serving as race marshal from 2007 to 2016. From there she continued to volunteer and has been a team supporter and sponsor to this day. As manager of Hatcher Pass Polaris, Graeber has watched decades of Iron Dog athletes pursue their racing dreams. The Iron Dog board praised her supportive efforts, calling her the “ultimate Iron Dog volunteer, race marshal, sponsor and human.”

“It was very unexpected, and I’m very honored and humbled,” said Graeber upon hearing she was selected for the Iron Dog Hall of Fame. “As a race marshal, I tried to be ethical and run the race right so that it got the respect it deserves. As a volunteer and sponsor, I’ve always been proud to represent Iron Dog. Volunteering is easy when you’re passionate about the sport.”

Graeber’s love of the sport began early, growing up as a child and riding snowmachines out of her family’s cabin in Big Lake.  She began to seriously follow the Iron Dog in 1994 and served locally with such clubs as AMMC before joining Iron Dog as a volunteer.

“I’m very passionate about motorsports,” she said. “This is a true honor.”

Congratulations, Chris, on your much-deserved recognition for all your efforts.
