Kaci Murringer crossed the finish line in Nome at 12:29 p.m. on Sunday, March 22nd with 10 dogs in harness. She captures the Red Lantern award.
Murringer and her team finished the race in 13 days, 22 hours, 29 minutes and 45 seconds.
Murringer is the 34th and final musher that completed Iditarod XLVIII, in a field that began with 57. It's not the smallest group of finishers, but it is on the smaller side. The first race in 1973 had 34 teams start and only 22 teams finished.

Congratulations to all that finished. That is quite an accomplishment.
I wonder if the smaller-ish finishing group is related to people being nervous about all the else that happening in the world right now?
On TV this morning, a race official said only one scratched due to sickness back at home.
Congrats to those that held on! :-)
Agreed. Congratulations to all! Quite an accomplishment.
