Eagle Cap Extreme

With 16 years of Sled Dog race experience with the Iditarod, Yukon Quest and other Far North sledding events, Clyde brings a mixture of engineering, project management and non-profit organizational expertise to the Eagle Cap Extreme. Working as a consultant, he is able to allocate his time and energy as best suited for the organization’s needs.

He moved his family to Oregon to enjoy the many outdoor activities from mountain climbing, fly fishing and or course Sled Dog Mushing. 

Oregon has a rich history of the sport of Mushing from the sand dunes of the coast to the mountains. Both Stage and Distance racing are alive and well in Oregon. Working as a consultant
His goal is to take the energy of the Mushers & Volunteers and channel it into the sustainable development of the Eagle Cap Extreme into the premier Northeastern Oregon winter family event. An event that centers around the 100 and 200 mile events with educational opportunities, development of the professional Musher, collaboration with local organizations  while maintaining our connection to the great outdoors.
We are privileged to utilize a pristine trail through the Wallow-Whitman National Forest and across private property in both Wallow and Baker counties.

The 2009 Eagle Cap Extreme was selected by Oregon Public Broadcast (OPB) for a segment of their Oregon Field Guide. Two crews from OPB followed the Mushers across the trail as they challenged themselves and their team. The Eagle Cap Extreme is honored to have been selected for this documentation effort.

Dr. Randy Greenshields considers himself fortunate to call Wallowa County, Oregon his home for the past 14 years. He is co-owner of the Double Arrow Veterinary Clinic in Enterprise and enjoys the variety that a small-town, mixed-animal practice provides. Dr. Greenshields and his wife, Jeni, cannot think of a better place to raise their four children: Brooke (14), Damon (12), Brett (9), and Landon (6). They have a few acres out of town where they enjoy their 3 dogs, a cat, 4 horses, several cows, chickens, and an occasional orphaned bison. Dr. Greenshields also enjoys camping with his family as well as hiking and bowhunting in the high mountains of the Eagle Cap Wilderness area.

Dr. Greenshields is a 1994 graduate of Washington State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. Prior to that, he received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, WA where he met his future wife, Jeni, on his first day of school.

This is Dr. Greenshields’ fifth year working the Eagle Cap, being a trail veterinarian since its beginning. He also serves on the race’s Board of Directors and is the Eagle Cap Extreme’s vice-president this year.

Terry became an Oregon resident at age 5 - a California transplant. After graduating from Southern Oregon College, a trip to Alaska ended with a Siberian Husky pup joining the family. During his 26 years running sled dogs, he ran some sprint races, mid-distance races, distance races and many Dune Mushersí Mail Runs. But his biggest feat was finishing the Iditarod in 1990.

His past experience includes being a judge in the Iditarod for 6 years, the John Beargrease in Minnesota and presently working the Eagle Cap Extreme Dog Race in Joseph, Oregon and the Seney 300 in Michigan. He is also teaching mushing to orphans in Russia, while helping the Russians organize the first stage race in the northwestern part of their country.
