Mitch Seavey has been the first to cross the finish line under the famed burled arch before — he previously won the famed Alaska Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in 2013 and 2004. This year he became the fastest and the oldest musher to win the race. He also beat his son, defending champion Dallas Seavey, who had wins in 2012 and 2014. Seavey won the race, arriving in Nome in 8 days, 3 hours, 40 minutes and 13 seconds, race stats show. The Seavey family’s history goes back to the first Iditarod in 1973 when Mitch Seavey’s dad raced in it.
