Having the fastest time was incidental to winning the race.
The actual speed of the sled dogs in the Iditarod varies from mile to mile, check point, to check point, race to race. However, the record for the fastest time any sled team has finished the Iditarod was set in 2002 by Martin Buser. He and his team completed the entire trip from Anchorage to Nome, 1,161 miles, in 8 days 22 hours 46 minutes and 2 seconds.
