(Driggs, Idaho) – The 27th Pedigree® Stage Stop Race came to a dramatic conclusion in Driggs, Idaho Saturday afternoon.
It was Lina Streeper who posted the fastest time for the day, in fact hers was the only team which finished in less than two hours.
But Anny Malo from St. Zenon, Quebec took first place overall for the fourth consecutive year.
Her cumulative overall time was 15:11:17 — a razor thin 17 minutes and 10 seconds separated this year’s first and second places.
Third place and “Rookie of the Year” shout out goes to Cathy Rivest who ran the powerful Rivest-Malo B team with surprising competence and assurance.
The 28.2 mile out-and-back course provided some surprisingly tight competition.
Many teams finished within a minute or two of each other.
Well done, and big congratulations to all the hard working dog teams, mushers, and handlers.
Our thanks, also, to all the sponsors, volunteers, assistants, road crew, and fans for one of the most exciting weeks in our 27 year history.
We could not do it without your generous support.
