The annual Alaskan Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race came to a close this year with some interesting twists and turns.

2024 winner, Dallas Seavey is no novice when it comes to working with sled dogs being the only musher in the world to win six times. The musher also has personal ties to the sport, with his grandfather establishing the event almost 60 years ago.

Seavey told Julie-anne Sprague on 6PR Afternoons this is the grand daddy of all sled dog races and was not an easy feat, after facing a moose who threatened the win.

“It’s about overcoming 1000 miles of challenges with your best friends and those are our sled dogs,” Mr Seavey said.
