ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Norwegian musher Thomas Waerner easily won the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race across Alaska, one of the few U.S. sporting events not canceled by concerns over the new coronavirus.The 46-year-old musher won the Iditarod in only his second attempt. He finished 17th in 2015, when he was named Rookie of the Year.
Wearner, who lives in Torpa, Norway, won the 745-mile Finnmarkslopet, the longest sled dog race in Europe, in 2019. In some other villages, which serve as checkpoints along the nearly 1,000-mile course, official check-in points were moved outside the communities to limit contact. In one case, the checkpoint was held on the Yukon River.
PETA pressures race sponsors to drop out, often conducting protests outside corporate headquarters, like it says it did in Seattle at the airline and in Detroit for the automaker.
