Show Notes
Jessie Holmes, defending champion, leads the 2026 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race after reaching Koyuk checkpoint. His team, Team Cant Stop, has been in the lead for much of the journey. Paige Drobny and Travis Beals are close behind. After an eight-hour layover at White Mountain, the leader usually wins. Holmes attributes his teams performance to smart feeding. Racers have faced tough conditions, with one rookie scratching due to brutal early terrain. Thirty-five teams remain, with the leaders potentially reaching Nome in nine to twelve hours after White Mountain.
