Iditarod 2022 – Day 7
Don’t forget the time change tonight (2:00AM becomes 3:00AM Sunday).
There are wind warnings up for the Nulato Hills and the Eastern Norton Sound. The run up the coast could get “exciting” as the puppies don’t like to run into the wind. If you’re on the ice you can get blown off the trail.

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.
