Seavey wins second Iditarod in record time

  • 5 years ago
In Alaska, Dallas Seavey won his second Iditarod sled-dog race in three years. The 26-year-old Seavey and his canine team finished the 42nd annual 1,000-mile race in record time. The battle went through the Alaska tundra and into the coastal community of Nome. It took Seavey eight days, 13 hours, four minutes and 19 seconds. The punishing round-the-clock marathon commemorates a rescue mission that carried diphtheria serum by sled-dog relay to Nome in 1925. -- Mornings @ ANC, March 12, 2014.
