Thirty-one year old Peter Kaiser won the Iditarod on his tenth attempt, with a time of nine days, 12 hours, 39 minutes and six seconds. Kaiser edged out the defending champion, Joar Leifseth Ulsom, by 12 minutes.
Kaiser is from Bethel, Alaska in the Yukon Delta between the the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers. Though Kaiser is Alaskan native on his mother's side, it was his father, Ron Kaiser, originally from Kansas, who introduced him to mushing.
The prize for winning this year's race includes $50,000 and a new truck.
