Catch the scenes along the trail with daily galleries posted throughout Iditarod 40.
Track all 66 mushers along the trail with live stats throughout the race and historical biographies.
Young Two Rivers musher Jessica Hendricks, the Iditarod rookie of the year in 2003, scratched on Wednesday at Nikolai after the unseasonably warm weather took a toll on dogs accustomed to much colder conditions.
Hendricks, 25, had dropped five dogs in Nikolai, a big number for any musher at one checkpoint. That left her with just seven dogs, and she eventually decided to scratch. She was in 53rd place.
Hendricks, born and raised in Alaska, has finished as high as 15th, in the 2005 Iditarod. She's finished in the top 25 in every Iditarod she's started.
