BOISE -- A Ketchum man is gaining ground -- and is now in 57th place in the big Iditarod race in Alaska!
The race began Sunday in Willow, Alaska.
The mushers will spend the next two to three weeks racing across some of the harshest terrain in sub-zero temperatures.
Trent Herbst is a 4th grade teacher from Ketchum.
This is his fourth time competing in the Iditarod.
On his blog are photos of him and his fourth grade students at the beginning of the race in Willow, Alaska.
On day two of the race, Trent was in 64th place -- but now he is rising in the rankings, and is in 57th.
