The Red Lantern is an award given to the Iditarod’s last place finisher. The award was eventually passed on to the Iditarod when the race began in 1973. Over the years the Red Lantern Award has become a symbol of perseverance and determination.
Q. What does the winner of the Iditarod win?
Partly due to the pandemic and pressure on sponsors by race critic People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the overall race purse was down 20%, to $400,000 this year. Seavey received $40,000 and a new snowmobile for winning the race, a prize that was about $10,000 less than what Waerner received last year.

Q. Who’s stronger Superman or Flash?
To summarize, that is three wins and two ties for Barry Allen versus Clark Kent, which is enough evidence for me to declare that the Flash is, in fact, faster than Superman. But it isn’t just Barry Allen who is faster than Superman; both Jay Garrick and Wally West have outrun Superman as well over the years.
