Course was run over 1,129 miles of Alaska wildernessHolmes has appeared on Life Below Zero
Jessie Holmes, a former reality television star, won the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race on Friday negotiating the longest-ever course in the event’s history.
Holmes was first to the finish line in Nome on the Bering Sea coast. The race began on 3 March in Fairbanks after a lack of snow forced changes to the route and starting point. That made the normally 1,000-mile race a 1,129 miles slog across the Alaska wilderness. Holmes finished in 10 days, 14 hours, 55 minutes, 41 seconds.
