The council received a letter from the Iditarod Trail Committee asking the city of Nome for $100,000 to “offset the projected hard costs of staging the 2022 finish in Nome”.

Aaron Burmeister finished second in the 2021 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, reaching the finish line in Deshka Landing just 3 hours after Dallas Seavey, the now 5-time Iditarod Champion.

Former Iron Dog Champion Mike Morgan of Nome is the 2021 winner of the Nome-Golovin Snowmachine Race with a time of 2 hours, 13 minutes and 56 seconds.

The latest to finish Iditarod 2021 is Matthew Failor in 21st place.

Twenty-one mushers have crossed the finish line in Deshka, leaving 15 teams still out on the historic Iditarod Gold Trail Loop.

Top 15 mushers have also all arrived into Deshka Landing for their race finish.

Mille Porsild has placed 5th in this year’s Iditarod Race. She moves up from her 17th place finish in 2020 to a Top 5 finish in 2021. Is the former Rookie of the Year gearing up for a future Iditarod win? Listen below for a discussion on Porsild’s mushing career, current leaderboard standings and more:…
