Jeff Prevails in Nome

Jeff Leuwerke triumphantly crossed under the Burled Arch in Nome after a grueling 26 days, 19 hours, and 6 minutes, marking his inaugural finish in Nome and his third successful ITI. Throughout the expedition, Jeff braved the extreme forces of nature, from gale-force winds and prolonged periods of sub-zero temperatures to rain, snow, and virtually every conceivable challenge the Alaskan winter could present. As he met the finish line on a chilly morning, the early sun painted the Bering Sea in a golden light, heralding his remarkable achievement.
