Checkpoint: March 20, 2009

It's great watching The Next Generation of Championship Class Mushers; names like Seavey, Smyth and of course Redington.

It's Been a Long Run To Nome

For Hugh Neff, the 2009 Iditarod Trail was long and hard. He finished 15th. He also incurred serious frostbite on the windswept coast of Norton Sound.

What a Day For Finishes!

The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race saw a flood of mushers arrive in Nome yesterday.  Beginning in the early morning hours, there were three mushers arriving within a half hour of each other… Mitch Seavey, Cim Smyth and Dallas Seavey. Following the fourth, fifth, and sixth mushers to arrive in Nome were Aaron Burmeister, Jessie Royer, Raymey Smith and Hans Gatt as this year's top ten finishers.  To see all of the most recent standings, click here!

A Changing of the Guard?

There were some new faces in the Iditaord top ten this year, 21 year old Dallas Seavey (son of 2004 Iditarod Champion Mitch Seavey) was one of them. Seeing many of the younger teams coming in with strong finishes begs the question; is this the year that marks a new era of competition in "The Last Great Race on Earth"?
