The Iditarod Trail Committee has partially reversed its decision to penalize two mushers who sheltered their dog teams in a cabin in a severe windstorm during this year’s 1,000-mile sled dog race.
Porsild and Phillips were the top female finishers in this year’s race. On one of their final runs to the finish, between Koyuk and Elim, they hit a severe windstorm and said they had to move their dog teams inside a cabin to protect them. That decision was reversed in Thursday’s ruling, meaning that Porsild will be awarded about $3,500 more in prize money for finishing in 14th. Phillips will get an extra $1,000 dollars and finish in 17th. However, both mushers must pay a $1,000 fine.
