From Kyle Hopkins in Anchorage --

The first musher to Nome will take home $50,400 this year – the same amount Lance Mackey won in 2010, according to organizers.

The payout for finishing 2nd through 30th has been slightly reduced. The 10th place finisher, for example, will receive $22,700. That’s $1,700 less than last year.

All told, the top 30 finishers will split $528,000. (In 2008, the top 30 battled for about $875,000, according to news reports at the time.)

The rest of the finishers take home $1,049 each.
