Iditarod 2023 – Day 4
By being the first into McGrath yesterday, Ryan Redington wins Alaska Air Transit Spirit of Iditarod Award
Teams are starting to take their 24-hour mandatory layovers. Takotna is traditionally a favorite stop. Nicolas Petit (9) has finished his 24-hour stop at Nikolai,

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.
