Dick Wilmarth won the first Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in 1973 with a team of 12 dogs. It took him 20 days, 49 minutes, and 41 seconds.
The Golden Harness award is given to the lead dog of the winning team in the Iditarod sled dog race. It is considered a prestigious honor in recognition of the hard work, skill, and endurance displayed by the lead dog throughout the race.
The actual speed of the sled dogs in the Iditarod varies from mile to mile, check point, to check point, race to race. However, the record for the fastest time any sled team has finished the Iditarod was set in 2002 by Martin Buser. He and his team completed the entire trip from Anchorage to Nome, 1,161 miles, in 8 days 22 hours 46 minutes and 2 seconds.
