At this writing, Jeff King has left the checkpoint at Safety, which means he only has a few more miles to go to complete the Iditarod. Assuming no catastrophic events occur, he will be the winner and Join Susan Butcher, Martin Buser, Rick Swenson and Doug Swingley as a four-time Iditarod winner.
2nd and 3rd places are up for grabs between Doug Swingley, Paul Gebhardt, DeeDee Jonrow, John Baker and Bjornar Andersen.
There is still loads of racing left as there are still 72 teams still on the trail.
The Iditarod is in a league by itself, isn't it. What a field!
