According to Trackleaders, just a handful of women are participating in this year’s Iditarod Trail Invitational in Alaska. Ginny Robbins of Idaho was the first to finish the 350-mile race, rolling into McGrath over the weekend and claiming the ITI 350 win on her rookie run. Her final time was 5 days and 57 minutes.
Per Allison Carolan of Wild Winter Women, Ginny is no stranger to tough events, having finished the Drift 100 in Wyoming five times across multiple disciplines and found a spot on the women’s podium at the 2025 Fat Pursuit race with Kait Boyle. Kari from Wild Winter Women let us know that this weekend’s conditions were extremely poor, with high wind and wildly cold temperatures. There were riders turning around from the pass and even more dropping out. As of yesterday, there were almost as many riders scratched from the event as there are still riding. “People will be talking about this ITI for a long time,” Kari said. Massive congratulations go out to Ginny on an impressive ride. Great work out there!
There are still plenty of riders out riding, including Jay Petervary, who was the first 1,000-mile route rider to leave McGrath on his way north. For the women, Kendall Park and Mayella Krause are both riding the ITI 1000 and, as of yesterday, were together at the iconic Rohn cabin. Visit our event listing to follow their progress live.
