Fifteen mushers have arrived into Susitna Crossing, roughly halfway to Maclaren Lodge. Three have left this checkpoint.
First out of Susitna Crossing is Hugh Neff (time in 18:17), second is Lance Mackey (time in 18:24) and third is Melanie Gould (time in 18:45) No times reported on their times out. It is speculated they have stopped to rest further down the trail.
The 12 other mushers that are reported into Susitna Crossing have remained at the check point to rest. Teams are reported grouped together and looking good.
The Maclaren Lodge will have a reverse restart after mushers complete their mandatory 6 hour layover. Fairbanks musher, Rod Boyce, Bib #21, decided to withdraw shortly before the start of the race.
Another update is expected sometime after midnight from Maclaren Lodge when the front runners are expected to start arriving.
