Oct. 31st: Race organizers have made an important rule change regarding mandatory rest for the Seeley Lake 200. The new rest rule states:

4. Mushers must take a four (4) hour mandatory layover at a check point designated by Race Officials. An additional mandatory six (6) hours of layover time is required. Mushers have the discretion to take the six (6) hours at official check points in whatever increments they choose as long as official check in and check out procedures are followed. The layover begins when the musher declares his/her intention to the checker and signs in. The layover ends when the musher signs out. During the four (4) hour mandatory layover, each team is subject to a time adjustment to compensate for the staggered start.
