Martin Buser has again regained the Iditarod lead, departing Grayling at 12:52 p.m., staying at the checkpoint for only 10 minutes.
Aliy Zirkle, Aaron Burmeister, Jake Berkowitz and Sonny Lindner round out the top-5.
Buser is the only competitor in the top-5 that has used both the mandatory 8-hour and 24-hour layovers.
