WM to Nome Run Times: Lance vs Jeff

This is a forum for general discussion of dogsled racing, with a special focus on Alaska, and is open to all. It is expected that this area will see the most activity during the months leading up to, and during the annual Iditarod sled dog race. Pictures from races can be posted here. Hosting is provided by the Bering Strait School District (BSSD), and the area is open all year. Care to be one of our volunteer moderators? Contact us!

been wondering- if there hasn't been enough snow/too warm for so many years, why not just have the race a few weeks earlier in the year?

I did a little calculating...
and if the tracker is simi accurate...they are traveling close to the same speed.
I have lance at 7.4 average and Jeff at 7.2...
