Mar 11 – 3.00 AK (13.00 MEZ) In the official standing Sebastian is “only” in 12th position, but when we take into count that he already spend his mandatory 24h layover (together with Jeff King, Hugh Neff and Mitch Seavey) then we see him in the Top-4.
Mar 9 – 4:30 AK (14:30 MEZ) Sebastian leads the pack with about 9 miles before Mitch Seavey, Hugh Neff and John Baker – hoping that’s not a disadvantage as it snowed some feets last week and so he has to break trail.
Sebastian and Mark are running the Percy de Wolfe today at 10:00 h (19:00 MEZ) at Dawson City. The race goes over 210 miles (336 km) to Eagle and back to Dawson City.
