The mushers made the run in about seven days but I want to dedicate around a day each for them. The siblings is said to have used the same team of dogs so they get to share the day. But up until Feb 2nd each team get some love.

January 27 "Wild" Bill Shannon
Nenana to Minto to Tolovana
Team of 9 huskies. Around 11:00 pm January 27, 1925, Shannon received the serum and written instructions from the conductor. Temperatures ranged from −40 to −62 °F (−40 to −52 °C). At 3:00 am, Shannon arrived in Campbell's Roadhouse in Minto, rested for four hours before setting off again, this time with only 6 dogs as three of his dogs, Cub, Jack and Jet, had been injured from the cold. Later, these three dogs ended up dying from lung injuries. Shannon suffered severe facial frostbite. 52 mi (84 km) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1925_.....um_run_to_Nome
As a tribute to my favorite movie of the event I will upload (as far as it is possible) something Balto-related each day of 2025. Here the gallery starts so you can see them all: https://www.deviantart.com/emberwol.....years-of-balto
“Dedicated to the indomitable spirit of the sled dogs that relayed antitoxin six hundred miles over rough ice, across treacherous waters, through Arctic blizzards from Nenana to the relief of stricken Nome in the winter of 1925.”
