The Red Lantern Award is an award given to the last musher to cross the finish line in Nome.
The red lantern award in competitions like the Iditarod dog sled race is named after the red lantern traditionally hung outside the last place finisher's home, symbolizing perseverance and a resilient spirit in the face of challenges. It celebrates the determination and effort of the competitor who finishes last.
It is an award in the Iditarod made to make the person in last feel special.
