Victoria Hardwick, the final musher to reach the Burled Arch

Hello friends,

The 2019 Iditarod officially ended at 11:08 AM Alaska time when Victoria Hardwick of Bethel, AK crossed under the Burled Arch in Nome. She was all smiles as a small crowd cheered her to the finish line.  Good for you, Victoria, for sticking with it. The Finisher’s Banquet was last night, but the teams who arrived since then will have their own Banquet tonight in Nome. What a celebration!

Last night (Sunday) at the Finisher’s Banquet stories were shared and prizes given out. A list of winners and their pictures can be found here: https://iditarod.com/iditarod-xlvii-awards-photo-journal/

Congratulations to all the canines and the humans they ran with. It was a great race!

 

Tail wags,
