Iditarod 2021 – Day 4
Brenda Mackey (15)R made the decision to scratch at Nikolai ‘in the best interests of her team”. Brenda was down to 9 puppies.
The run to Flat has been cancelled as all of the snow that was missing on the Burn has been dumped on the trail between Iditarod and Flat. The teams will now turn around at Iditarod.

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.
