The race for third place in the 50th Iditarod is coming down to a duel between two mushers looking for their best Iditarod finish.
Brushkana’s Jessie Holmes and Chatanika’s Dan Kaduce left White Mountain midday Tuesday, with Holmes getting out at 11:35 a.m. and Kaduce leaving at 11:51 a.m.
Holmes has never finished better than seventh in the Last Great Race, a feat he accomplished as a rookie in 2018, while Kaduce has never finished in the top 10 in three previous races. Kaduce’s best career finish is 16th last year.
Richie Diehl and Pete Kaiser follow behind them, with Diehl leaving White Mountain at 12:50 p.m. Tuesday and Kaiser leaving 11 minutes later. Diehl has a best Iditarod finish of sixth in 2018, while Kaiser is a former champion (2019) with six total top 10′s in 12 starts.
