Musher Anny Malo from Quebec, Canada continues her lead in the 2020 Pedigree Stage Stop Sled Dog Race.

In second place is musher Lina Streeper from British Columbia who made a push to gain time on Malo during “Stage 5” in Big Piney/Marbleton, Wyoming and won that stage besting Malo by just more than two minutes taking the Yellow Bib for “Stage 5” in Lander, Wyoming.

Malo countered with a flawless run on the 35-mile Lander leg which ran out of Louis Lake Trailhead on South Pass in the eastern end of the Wind River Range.

Malo bested Streeper by 4:14 completing the course in 02:22:33 and will take back the Yellow Bib from Streeper for “Stage 6” in Driggs, Idaho tomorrow.

Alix Crittenden from Bondurant, Wyoming continue to build on her third place standing over musher Rachel Courtney from Manitoba, Canada but will be hard pressed to overtake either Streeper or Malo who have built a significant buffer against the rest of the field. Jeff Conn from Alaska and Bruce Magnusson from Michigan are in a battle of within a minute overall time of each other to round out the top five positions.

Heavy snowfall is accumulating in Teton Valley, Idaho and Jackson Hole Wyoming where the final two stages are set to take place Friday and Saturday respectively. Trail groomers will be working overnight to set the racecourse but teams accustomed to running on softer trails are certain to have an edge.
