Brent Sass waves to the crowd. “It looks better than it did last week,” Sass said of the weather. “Last week it was 40 degrees everywhere now the temperatures started going down a little bit, but we’ll take whatever we get.” One of the pre-race favorites, Sass has won three of the three mid-distance races he’s started this year. He placed third in the Iditarod last year.
Athena Gianopoulos brought a sign to the 2022 Iditarod ceremonial start in hopes of finding a “missed connection” she’d met a couple months ago. One thing they had in common was an interest in the Iditarod. Her mother Debbie Weeks came out to help.
