Iditarod 2017 Starting Order

This is the order for the ‘re-start’ of the race in Fairbanks tomorrow. Teams leave at 2 minute intervals and that time differential is adjusted during the mandatory 24-hour stop that can be taken anywhere on the trail. There is a mandatory 8-hour stop that has to be taken on the Yukon River, and the final 8-hour stop at White Mountain.

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.
