Iditarod Update - We have a winner!

We have a winner!!!!!
Dallas Seavey has won the 2015 Iditarod in 8 days, 18 hours, 13 minutes and 6 seconds. It is his 2nd win in a row, and his third in four years – only interrupted by his father, Mitch, who won in 2013. Mitch finished this year in 2nd place, almost 4 hours behind his son. Aaron Burmeister is in Nome, for a 3rd place finish, his best yet.

Jessie Royer has a sizable lead over Aliy Zirkle, for 4th and 5th places respectively.

Joar Leifseth Ulsom, Jeff King, Wade Marrs and Ken Anderson are on their way to Nome, with Nicolas Petit set to leave in 10th position.

Jason Campeau is out of Elim with an hour and a half lead over Thomas Waerner in the Rookie of the Year race.

The back of the pack are all heading to the coast, with the exception of Cindy Abbott, who is on her way to Kaltag.

Nine teams are out of the race.
