Iditarod XLVIII to be recapped in one-hour special on CBS Sports Network

Thomas Waerner arrives in Nome as the 2020 Iditarod Champion.

As part of its partnership with the QRILL Pet Arctic World Series (QPAWS), an Iditarod recap special will be televised by CBS Sports Network on Friday, April 10, at 6 p.m. Alaska Standard Time (7 p.m. PST, 8 p.m. MST, 9 p.m. CST, 10 p.m. EST). “We want to thank CBS Sports Network and Lagardère Sports for enabling mushing and all sports fans to enjoy an immersive view of a life-changing journey through nearly 1,000 miles of off-the-grid Alaska wilderness,” said Iditarod CEO Rob Urbach. “In a world that is increasingly disconnected from nature, heritage, physicality, and now even each other, the Iditarod provides a much-needed antidote at exactly the right time.”
