Morgan takes last in Last Great Race
NOME, Alaska (AP) — A man who normally captains jet airliners for Alaska Airlines was awarded the Red Lantern for being the last musher to get his dog team across the finish line in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.

Sorlie makes it 2
NOME — A Norwegian firefighter traversed one of the slushiest trails ever, dropping half his dog team along the way, to win a four-way surge to the finish line Wednesday in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.

Sorlie leads out of White Mountain
UNALAKLEET, Alaska — The church bell rang and the whole village came out to welcome Robert Sorlie on Tuesday when he arrived at the White Mountain checkpoint, just 77 miles from the finish line of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog.

Tackling back-to-back monsters
UNALAKLEET, Alaska — Haggard and bleary eyed, Lance Mackey didn't expect to keep up with the leaders of the 1,100-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, he said Monday, hours after front-runner Robert Sorlie left this checkpoint on the windy Western Alaska coast.
Sorlie still setting the pace to Nome
UNALAKLEET, Alaska — Norwegian Robert Sorlie was the first musher to reach Koyuk on Monday night, moving quickly through the coastal village after a 3-minute stop at one of the last checkpoints on the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.

Sorlie turns for Bering coast with big lead

Gebhardt's Iditarod marked by highs, lows
The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race has featured extreme highs and lows for Kasilof musher Paul Gebhardt thus far.
Sorlie gets to Eagle Island first
''We just went 14 hours nonstop,'' the 47-year-old Norwegian said as he pushed past a small group of greeters and parked his 15 dogs at the checkpoint 420 miles from the Nome finish line. Some of the animals were surprisingly frisky, yipping and jumping in place, despite a trail Sorlie described as soft.

Gebhardt first to Yukon
Kasilof musher Paul Gebhardt and his team of 16 hard-charging huskies continue to lead this year's Iditarod despite innumerable obstacles and adversities.
Gebhardt has Iditarod lead
ANCHORAGE — Rick Swenson, the only five-time winner of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, dropped out of the running Thursday — the first time he's scratched from the 1,100-mile trek to Nome in 29 years on the trail.

Iditarod: A race like none other
You can't compare it to any other competitive event in the world.
Kenai Peninsula Iditarod 2005 mushers
There are seven mushers competing in the 2005 Iditarod Sled Dog Race from the Kenai Peninsula.
Family matters: Seaveys all about teamwork
When Mitch Seavey won the 2004 Iditarod, he knew things were going to be different.
Gebhardt brings experience to race
Mushers who have competed with Kasilof-based Paul Gebhardt have a saying: "It's not a matter of if he'll win the Iditarod, it's more a matter of when."
Quest: Mackey sets sights on Iditarod
Like a Steppenwolf song, Kasilof musher Lance Mackey lives life "like a true nature's child who was born to be wild," and it is his full-throttle attitude toward mushing that propels him to the front of the pack.
No. 20: Osmar ready to face familiar trail
Of all the Kenai Peninsula mushers entered in this year's Iditarod, Tim Osmar of Ninilchik is by far the most familiar with the trek from Anchorage to Nome. This will be Osmar's 20th run, and he still holds that same zest for the competition as he did in his first race.
Tyrell gets into competitive racing mind-set
Although many eyes will be on Mitch Seavey as he defends his title as the current Iditarod champion, his son, Tyrell Seavey, is hoping to better stake his own claim to fame in the Last Great Race this year. And he believes he may have the dogs to do it.
Rookie position harbors no false expectations for Dallas
Unlike a lot of mushers signed up for this year's Iditarod who are carefully calculating all factors in the hopes of winning, Dallas Seavey is taking a more laid back approach.
Moose Pass musher gives Iditarod just one more try
Judy Merritt is a lot like other grandmothers. She enjoys gardening, antiques and spending time with her children and grandchildren. There is one exception though. Merritt, 44, also likes the white-knuckle excitement of hitching up a dozen or more huskies to a sled for a fast-paced foray over snow and ice.
