Six International Riders Finish in Nome

Congratulations to Gaizka Aseguinolaza, Jussi Karjalainen, Roberto Gazzoli, Graham Muir, Tiziano Mulonia and Willy Mulonia for finishing the ITI 1000 in 18 days and 5 hours!

The six international athletes from Spain, Finland, Italy and New Zealand rode much of the trail from McGrath to Nome together and crossed under the burled arch as a group.

Jussi, Roberto, Graham and Willy were members of the Unalakleet Eight in 2020, a group of racers who were stopped short of the sea ice by a storm surge and the coronavirus pandemic. Congratulations to them and to Gaizka and Tiziano for conquering the countless challenges they faced on the Iditarod Trail and for finishing the ITI 1000.
