MCGRATH, Alaska - The McGrath checkpoint, officially 311 miles into the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, is often where mushers will take their required 24-hour layover where they, and the dogs, are essentially doing one of two things.
Mushers typically strategize where they will take their 24-hour rest along the trail, though sometimes that decision is made upon arriving in a checkpoint after evaluating the dogs and themselves. Aaron Burmeister was the first musher into the McGrath checkpoint Tuesday where he decided to take his 24 hours. Other competitive mushers such as Brent Sass and Dallas Seavey kept it moving all the way to Cripple before taking theirs.
