ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Norwegian musher Thomas Waerner easily won the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race across Alaska, one of the few U.S. sporting events not canceled by concerns over the new coronavirus.
Waerner immediately thanked the 10 dogs in harness, petting and rubbing each, ending his with lead dogs, K2 and Bark. Then each dog got a snack.
It took him 9 days, 10 hours, 37 minutes and 47 seconds to travel nearly 1,000 miles (1,609 kilometers) across Alaska.
