Mar 10, 2020 | 1:01 PM

Bezanson musher Aaron Peck is in 11th place so far at the Iditarod sled dog race in Alaska.

Peck arrived at the Rohn checkpoint just before midnight Monday night and, after a 17-minute rest, headed out again. Rohn is 188 miles from the starting point in Anchorage.

Peck still has all 14 dogs he started with.

The Iditarod runs 975 miles between Anchorage and Nome every year.
