Rookie Iditarod musher Jaye Foucher (bib #28) of Wentworth, New Hampshire, scratched at 6:30 a.m. today at the Rainy Pass checkpoint due to personal reasons. Foucher’s team remains healthy and doing well. After traveling through an extended wind storm, she made the decision not to continue further along the trail.
Foucher had 15 dogs in harness at the time she made the decision, all in good health.
We appreciate the determination and sportsmanship Foucher has shown during this year’s race and hope to see her return to the Iditarod Trail in the future.
