TABERNACLE — Romil Limson is a relative rookie on the sled dog racing circuit, but he’s made a serious commitment to the sport and his canine team.
Limson and his wife, Laura Anderson, keep a dozen Siberian huskies as beloved pets at their home. Their brood includes 10 adults and two puppies that are kept at the private, on-site Ninkasi Siberians Kennel.
“It’s not a business, just for hobby,” he said.
Anderson also races sled dogs, and both are members of the Jersey Sands Sled Dog Racing Association. Limson said his wife introduced him to the sport soon after they began dating.
“I was hooked,” he said. “There are a lot of reasons for doing it.”
Since 2007, Limson has been actively racing on the circuit.
“I’m fairly new at this,” he said.
Earlier this month, he participated in the Fair Hill Challenge rig race in Elkton, Md., hosted by the Pennsylvania Sled Dog Club. He and his team, Tropical Ice, completed the seven-mile course in 37 minutes and 38 seconds, earning an eighth-place finish in the Adult 4-Dog Speed class, according to the official race results.
