DESHKA LANDING An unusual Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race ended early Monday with a familiar champion.
Talkeenta’s Dallas Seavey and his 10 sled dogs dashed to the finish line near Willow at 5:09 a.m.
Wearing an orange parka, Seavey kicked to the finish behind a perky string of sled dogs.
This is Seavey’s fifth Iditarod win, tying him with Rick Swenson for the most Iditarod victories ever. Swenson has held the record alone since 1991.
Asked to summarize how he felt about his fifth win, Seavey said, “Comes after four, I guess.”
It’s a big deal, the 34-year-old Seavey admitted. Since becoming the youngest Iditarod musher to win in 2005 at the age of 25, people had predicted he might go on to win five.
Pandemic precautions hit Iditarod

The most noticeable change this year will be no spectators

ANCHORAGE, Alaska Traveling across the rugged, unforgiving and roadless Alaska terrain is already hard enough, but whatever comforts mushers previously had in the world’s most famous sled dog race will be cast aside this year due to the pandemic.
In years past, mushers would stop in any number of 24 villages that serve as checkpoints, where they could get a hot meal, maybe a shower and sleep albeit “cheek to jowl” in a warm building before getting back to the nearly 1,000-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.
