Ryan Anderson of the northern Minnesota
town of Ray has won the John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon in a
neck-and-neck finish.


      Anderson and his 11 dogs crossed the finish line in Duluth
Wednesday morning just two seconds ahead of defending champ Nathan
Schroeder, of Chisholm, and his 10 dogs.


      The Duluth News Tribune reports Anderson and Schroeder were
side-by-side for much of the final dash.


      Mushers say they're pleased with how fast the trail was.


      The teams set off Sunday afternoon for the nearly 400-mile trip
from Duluth up the North Shore of Lake Superior, up the Gunflint
Trail, and back to Duluth. Anderson crossed the finish line shortly
before 9:30 a.m.Wednesday with a little under 40 hours of total
time on the trail.
