Dallas Seavey leads Iditarod mushers
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Dallas Seavey was leading the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race on Monday, but Aliy Zirkle was close on his heels, leaving the village of Koyuk about 20 minutes later to prevent the son of 2004 champion Mitch Seavey from running away with the race.
Mushers try to stay within striking distance of the leader at this point in the nearly 1,000 mile race from Anchorage to Nome. That’s because mushers are required to rest their teams for eight hours in White Mountain before heading the 77 miles to the finish line.
