Iditarod 2021 – Day 6
This morning half the field is headed South.
Rick Casillo (45) made the decision to scratch at McGrath ‘in the best interests of his team”. Rick was down to 13 puppies.
All of the teams on the trail have finished their 24-hour rest stops, but many still have to take their 8-hour stop, which must happen at or before Rohn.

The Mushers in bold are former winners of the Iditarod, while italics indicates Yukon Quest winners. The numbers in parentheses are their Bib numbers. The small “R” indicates a total rookie, while the small “Q” indicates an Iditarod rookie who has completed a Yukon Quest.
These are the official standings. That means they are official, not that they are correct. Things jump around a lot as people decide to update the standings. This problem is especially bad in the back of the pack, as no one bothers to update those standings when the lead is changing.
This post will be updated during the day, and the map changed on all posts to reflect the current situation.
