Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox person Carl Huntington (December 4, 1947 – October 13, 2000)[1] was an Athabaskan-American[2] dog musher who is best known for winning the 1974 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race as a rookie, with a time of 20 days, 15 hours, 1 minute, 7 seconds.[3]

In addition to winning the Iditarod, he also won the 1974 Open World Championship Race, or the Fur Rendezvous Race- a unique feat due to the fact that this race was a speed competition, while the Iditarod is a distance competition. In reference to this, musher Libby Riddles said "There's nobody that has quite the record he has."[4]

Huntington died of an apparent suicide on October 13, 2000. He had recently been estranged from his family, and was charged with sexual abuse of a minor.[4]
