Rookie musher Jenny Roddewig of Fairbanks scratched at 5:50 a.m. Alaska time at the White Mountain checkpoint "in the best interest of her team." Roddewig had 10 dogs in harness when she arrived in White Mountain, all in good health.  

With this scratch in the race, all teams have now completed their 1,128-mile, 2025 Iditarod. Jesse Holmes was this year's winner with a time of 10 days, 14 hours, 55 minutes, and 41 seconds. Matt Hall finished second and Paige Drobney, 3rd.
