The 49th Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race concluded with a familiar winner and a record-tying finish.
Musher Dallas Seavey won his record-tying fifth Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race championship on Monday by crossing the finish line at 5:08 am Alaska Daylight Time.
The veteran musher crossed the finish line in seven days, 14 hours, eight minutes and 57 seconds with 10 dogs in harness. Dallas Seavey s win in Iditarod 49 epitomizes the grit, determination and perseverance for which our race is synonymous, said Iditarod CEO Rob Urbach said in a statement. This year, teams were challenged unlike ever before, which included traversing the notorious Dalzell Gorge and Alaska Range twice, and Dallas showed incredible adaptability with being able to excel in arctic camping, strategic run timing and dog whispering in concert with our stringent COVID-19 protocols. Congratulations to Dallas and we thank Iditarod Nation for their support this year.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Ever since Dallas Seavey became the youngest musher to win the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in 2012, heâs been bombarded by questions on whether he would eventually get five race titles, the most ever by a musher.
âI think it was probably 10 minutes after I won that first race that somebody mentioned five,â he told The Associated Press before this yearâs race. âAt that point, I said I got to worry about No. 2 first. I may be homeschooled, but I know that much, two comes after one.â
