The majority of mushers in the 50th running of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race are now through the Rainy Pass checkpoint, official race standings showed Monday night. All but five teams had made it from Finger Lake to Rainy Pass, through a tough section of trail heading through the Alaska Range.
A number of leaders had also made it through the Rohn checkpoint, according to the race’s GPS tracker and official standings. Strategies and race leaders are generally unclear in the early days of the race.
The top five at this point are Ryan Redington, Aaron Burmeister, Richie Diehl, Mitch Seavey, and Dallas Seavey. But a check of the times at which they left the Rohn checkpoint shows them covering a spread of 2 1/2 hours.
