Eddie Burke Jr. claimed Rookie of the Year honors in the 2023 Iditarod, finishing in seventh place late Tuesday in Nome.
Eddie Burke Jr. arrived in Nome as the top rookie of this year’s Iditarod on March 14, 2023.
Burke, 34, said it was a hard-fought battle for the rookie honors with Hunter Keefe, who he ran close to for much of the race. He said it was a fun competition. A former garbage truck driver and amateur boxer, Burke has only been competing in sled dog races for two years, but he already has an impressive resume. That includes a victory in the competitive Knik 200 earlier this year and third place in the Kuskokwim 300.
Burke said his interest in mushing started when he and a few friends visited the Iditarod banquet to bet on the race.Eddie Burke Jr. greets his dogs in Nome.
