Scratches

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!

Just realised that Larry Daugherty scratched in Kaltag. Was thinking he was keeping Q company there, but instead it took him 28 hours to get from Nulato to Kaltag, so guessing his dogs had decided they were done - maybe didn't like that confusing trail on the way to Kaltag?

Meredith was doing so great! She's been low on dogs for a long time, but maintaining a good attitude. Given her number of dogs, probably a good choice - and she made a valiant effort.

wonder if Mountain will scratch or be withdrawn?

Quince has been withdrawn from the race now the winners are in IT. Is shutting down checkpoints early due to the virus

I'm sorry Quince is out of race, but good he didn't scratch.
