The King and the Pauper
With the Alaska Range behind them, the mushers turn their attention to a rest strategy. Missing his leader and with an exhausted team, Lance Mackey decides to take his mandatory 24 hour rest earlier than scheduled. Keen to the champ's strategy, musher Jeff King follows suit — also taking his 24 in the village checkpoint of Takotna.
These mushers must stay focused on their dogs as the other competitors, Martin Buser and DeeDee Jonrowe, pass by. DeeDee, who is nursing a virus from her own team, makes it first to the halfway mark at Checkpoint: Cripple, winning the Yukon Gold. But she is left to wonder if this push for the gold cost her team some vital rest.

Chase on the Yukon
With most teams now in their 24-hour break, Lance Mackey and Jeff King make up for time lost. Mackey is the first to Checkpoint: Ruby, leaving King both confused and frustrated. King devises a plan to win the race: He will let the returning champ lead and thus expend precious energy breaking trail.
Eskimo Darin Nelson becomes the latest musher to withdraw from the race — a sick dog team breaks his will to continue, and he chooses to scratch. Meanwhile a tired DeeDee Jonrowe is accosted by a drunken fan, and the Buser family separates to allow former champion, Martin, a shot at the gold. It's now a race to the coast along the mighty Yukon.
