Sullivan Congratulates Dallas Seavey on Iditarod Victory

WASHINGTON, DC — U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan today congratulated Dallas Seavey of Willow, Alaska on winning the 2016 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, his fourth win in five years.

“Dallas Seavey is becoming a living legend of sorts, taking his 4th Iditarod title in just the last five years, and again setting a new speed record for the history books,” said Senator Dan Sullivan. “And to make the race even more meaningful, Dallas was soon joined by his dad, Mitch Seavey, who finished a close second. Mitch must be a proud dad and Dallas a proud son. Congratulations Dallas on your record-breaking victory!"

Dallas Seavey finished the race in 8 days, 11 hours, 20 minutes and 16 seconds.
