Currently Lance Mackey is in the lead but Jeff King is in really positive spirits about his place. He ran the last leg quite a bit faster than Mackey. Mackey has a couple less dogs than King and they aren't running as well. Mackey is still in the lead but King is bound and determined to catch up. Mitch Seavey and Paul Gebhardt are hot on their tails too.
