The leaders approach the finish line and the battle for first position heats up. Allen Moore passes Brent Sass with a two-minute lead as they prepare to leave the last checkpoint. More than 300 miles now separate the first and last teams. One by one the remaining teams attempt the biggest challenge of the race, Eagle Summit. During the ascent Normand Casavant complains of unsportsmanlike methods from Damon Tedford. Teams jockey for positions and the larger share of the purse. Will the trail take more victims? Will there be more surprises before the finish line?
