Iditarod 2022 – Day 3
Takotna, a very popular spot for taking the 24-hour mandatory stop, isn’t a check point this year because of Covid. All of the teams are required to be vaccinated to race, are tested throughout the race, and masked when around people inside.

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.
