Congratulations to Travis Beals, who clinched an incredible second place, Sadie Lindquist of Moose Pass with a mighty 22nd, and Sam Paperman at 24th in the 2026 Iditarod Race. The communities of Seward and Moose Pass couldn’t be prouder of these wild, cold, and gritty dog-mushing accomplishments. Dan Seavey, who helped launch the last great race and passed away in 2025, would be cheering the loudest.
