Sibling Success on the ITI 1000 Trail

Congratulations to the incredible brother-and-sister duo, Matt Tanaka and Janice Tower, who completed the ITI 1000 today in 21 days, 1 hour, and 25 minutes.

Both athletes have demonstrated outstanding endurance and determination. For Janice, this marks her fifth ITI finish and her first successful journey all the way to Nome. Matt secured his fourth ITI finish, also celebrating his first arrival under the iconic Nome arch.

Their achievement is even more remarkable given that both siblings are in their 60s, proving that passion and perseverance defy age. Congratulations, Matt and Janice, on your inspiring accomplishment!
