Nice shot of Jesse Holmes and team as they head to the burled arch finish line on Front St. in Nome! Oh, how I loved being there and watching these teams come it. Nothing quite like it. Photo credit The Nome Nugget. #Alaska #Iditarod2025 #LastGreatRace

Jesse Holmes won the Iditarod. Now, I don't know why there isn't an Alaskan flag where he is sitting, but ok. Jesse was born in Alabama, but has lived here for many years. I do like the blue and yellow on the dogs! #Alaska #Iditarod2025 #LastGreatRace http://www.nomenugget.net/news/jessie-holmes-wins-2025-iditarod

Here‘s the portrait shot of Polar, while his brother Arctic maybe didn’t want all that media hype 😎😉

Here they are, winning the race of over 1100 miles. Pets and treatos for Polar and Arctic, the lead dogs. 🐕💖🐕💖 #Iditarod2025

Iditarod Sled Dog Race fans: Two teams are now in White Mountain, and right on schedule, winds are ramping up across the Topkok Hills. The NRCS Johnson Camp weather station is right on the coast a few miles east of the Solomon River and is usually reasonably representative of conditions on the trail from out of White Mountain to the Safety Checkpoint. #akwx #Iditarod2025 @Jdnome @Climatologist49

There's a new video interview of Q at Kaltag where he's doing his 24hr rest and it's really great - I can't direct link to the vid but it's on this page.

Musher Gabe Dunham of Willow, Alaska, scratched at 8:03 a.m. AKST today at the Eagle Island checkpoint. She still had 14 dogs in harness when she arrived in Eagle Island.

That makes her the 6th musher to scratch during this year's Iditarod race:

Gabe Dunham
Jeff Deeter
Mike Parker
Daniel Klein
Brenda Mackey
Charmayne Morrison

First of all, it’s good to read that Jett, the dog in Brenda Mackey’s team that needed bet assistance, is better again. The more concerning part when you read that story of Brenda’s post on FB is that the mushers are handed out SOS devices that are either malfunctioning or not explained enough or not usable intuitively. Either one of these explanantions is more than "sub-optimal" for conditions like the Iditarod race.

Things have been so insane that I have not posted any photos from the Iditarod! First of all, the race started in Fairbanks because there is literally no snow in Anchorage or South Central. The lead teams should be crossing the finish line (under the burled arch) in Nome at the first of next week. Here's the End of the Iditarod Arch that arrived in Nome today and is being put together so it will make it to Front St. in Nome this weekend for sled teams to run under it next week.

The teams are already stretched out over a distance of over 65 miles with Ryan Redington in lead and Calvin Daugherty at the red lantern position.

Wie sag' ich es meinem Vierbeiner bei Wind und Schneesturm? Welche Kommandos für Schlittenhunde verwenden Musher?
Und warum heißt das eigentlich "Musher“?

#Iditarod2025 #Mushing

Wer macht was im Schlittenhunde-Team, was sind Swing Dogs, warum laufen die stärksten Hunde hinten? Jeder Hund hat individuelle Stärken und seine Rolle im Gespann.

Heute um 10 Uhr Ortszeit (das ist 20 Uhr MEZ) beginnt der #Iditarod2025 und ich habe mir wie üblich das Insider-package gegönnt. Ich werde hier die voraussichtlich nächsten 8-10 Tage dazu Infos zu den Teams und zum Verlauf posten. Falls das jemand nicht lesen will, dann filtert einfach das Hashtag oben aus. Den ersten Artikel gibt es schon: https://arminhanisch.de/2025/02/kein-schnee-in-anchorage/

@amyfou Same here, also using #Iditarod2025. Let's hope that the gods of the trackiebois are with us! 😉

2025 Iditarod Ceremonial Start in Anchorage. Almost no snow in Anchorage, so shortening the route considerably meant bigger crowds downtown. 33 teams this year, the smallest field ever with 16 rookies. They had to move the real start to Fairbanks on Monday and change the race route because of lack of snow. #Alaska #Anchorage #Iditarod2025

Iditarod 2025 restart has been moved to Fairbanks on March 3 due to poor trail conditions on part of trail south of Nikolai. This is the fourth time the restart has been moved to Fairbanks. #Iditarod2025 #Alaska
