Hi Boys and Girls,

What an exciting finish to Iditarod 42. Marcelle Fressineau finished just 35 seconds after Lisbet Norris.  Marcelle was awarded the Red Lantern for being the final finisher of the race.  Congratulations to all the finishers.  It was a tough race at the start and finish for many teams due to weather and trail conditions.  Everyone is in Nome now, resting up and getting ready for the Finishers Banquet.  Check back Monday morning for a list of award winners.
