ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Dallas Seavey overcame killing a moose and receiving a time penalty to win the Iditarod on Tuesday, a record-breaking sixth championship in the world’s most famous sled dog race. However, he was ultimately given a two-hour time penalty because he only spent 10 minutes gutting the moose, officials said. Race officials disqualified Burke on Feb. 19. But the state of Alaska then dropped charges alleging he choked his then-girlfriend in 2022, and the Iditarod Trail Committee reinstated him. The committee also disqualified Sass without explanation, other than pointing to a rule governing personal and professional conduct, and race officials refused to discuss it during a media briefing ahead of the race.

Dallas Seavey won his record sixth Iditarod sled dog race on Tuesday, despite an eventful race that included a penalty for failing to properly gut a moose. Seavey was cruising in the race last week near Skwentna, Alaska, when his dog team became entangled with a moose. Sledders in the race are permitted to carry firearms and Seavey used his to shoot and kill the moose. The ethics of the Iditarod race require that when a large animal like a moose or caribou is killed during the competition, its meat must be taken and distributed. So the sledder involved in the accident must stop and gut the animal.

The Iditarod sled dog race in Alaska has had a messy start, with a five-time champion shooting and killing a moose to protect himself and his dogs, race officials said on Monday. Under race rules, the musher, Dallas Seavey, had to stop to gut the moose before continuing the 1,000-mile race. Seavey killed the moose after it became “entangled” with the racer and his dogs during the race, the Iditarod said in a news release. Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race officials were notified at 1:43 a.m. on Monday. One of Seavey’s dogs was injured in the encounter and flown to Anchorage to be evaluated by veterinarians, the Iditarod said.
