ANCHORAGE —
A rookie sled dog racer who disappeared in blizzard conditions during a 200-mile race was found alive by a group of snowmobilers Friday afternoon, six days after he was last seen.
Rod Boyce, 38, was found near the race trail in the Caribou Hills of the Kenai Peninsula, said Greg Wilkinson, an Alaska police official.
Boyce was last seen while competing in the Tustumena 200 Sled Dog Race on the Kenai Peninsula south of Anchorage. He passed through a race checkpoint but then failed to reach the next checkpoint 18 miles away.
