The Sprint to Nome
Lance Mackey was back on the trail at 4:53PM AKDT [7:53PM CDT] with under 70 miles and one check point to go. Jeff King can’t leave until 5:50PM AKDT, giving Mackey a 57 minute lead. One or the other should be in Nome in 10 to 12 hours depending on the strength of their team and the conditions on the trail.
