End the race. Modern day mushers are weak ass little bitches. Couldn’t even run the race unless there’s a groomed trail for them.
This makes no sense whatsoever. If there wasn't a trail, the #1 musher would be trudging in front of the team on snowshoes or skis for a large portion of the route. At less than 5 mph in unbroken snow. All the other mushers would be piled up behind the #1 musher. Then it wouldn't be a race.
It would take 25-30 days to get to Nome. People would get lost and dogs would be put at risk.
