Joe Redington, Sr. is the oldest musher to have finished the Iditarod. He finished the Iditarod in 1997 at the age of 80. Colonel Norman Vaughn started the Iditarod at the age of 88 but was not able to complete the race that year. Col. Vaughn technically holds the record as the oldest Iditarod musher, but Joe Redington, Sr is the oldest musher to ever finish the Iditarod.
