Hewitt's journey took seven days, 14 hours, 40 minutes.
That edges the 2005 record of Alicja Barahona by an hour and 20 minutes.
Four months ago, Hewitt set a Pennsylvania record for a 50-mile run by a 50-year-old woman, finishing in 10:20:50.
Eleven bikers are continuing to Nome, with Tim Hewitt and Jose Diego Estebanez expected to join them on foot.
