The actual race started at 2. The musher who drew BIB number two was Curt Perano all the way to BIB number 70 who was Sonny Lindner. When the race started each musher followed 2 minutes behind the person in front of them. This race took a lot of coordinating with volunteers & planning for the mushers.

| I learned that volunteers go and put the trail markers out from checkpoint to checkpoint. They are usually just one day ahead of the lead pack of mushers. |
PEOPLE WERE ICE FISHING!
It took me about 30 minutes after we got off the bus to realize this event was like tailgating at a UT football game (of course on a bigger scale.) There were people prepared to camp, ice fish, fires, BBQS, snowmobiles, cross country skiers, weekend cabins and finally a lot of other tourists like us having no idea what to expect.
