JACKSON, Wyo. — After its kickoff in downtown Jackson on Friday night, competitors were ready for day one of the 27th Pedigree Stage Stop Race. Twenty-four teams left the starting line at Blackrock Ranger Station trailhead eight miles east of Moran Junction yesterday morning.
The 29.7-mile Blackrock course offered ups and downs, twists and turns, switchbacks and a stretch of open country up top. Conditions consisted of almost no wind, blue skies and cold temperatures (-16F at 9 a.m.). To end it all, after a four-mile climb of hard fast trail out the chute, all were treated to a breathtaking panoramic view of the Teton Mountains.
“All the mushers without exception reported it was a great run for Day One,” said Media Director Roger Carpenter.
The results confirm that this was a very fast course. Today’s top three competitors shattered last year’s course record held by Éric Laforce. Anny Malo, last year’s returning Stage Stop champion, set a new course record of 1:49:29. Éric Laforce was not far behind at 1:52:23 overcoming a wedged snow hook on the hard-packed trail. Next across the finish line were Diane Marquis, JR Anderson and Alix Crittenden.
