Red Lantern Award

Did you know that the last person to finish the Iditarod is given the red lantern award? Did you also know that they give the same award in the Tour de France bicycle race? I did. It is called the lanterne rouge. The name comes from a red latern hung of the back of a train's caboose so conductors would look for the lantern and know that none of the cars of the train became disconnected.

    Hi Quinn.
    Thank you for telling us about the Red Lantern. I wonder who will win it this year?

    Hey Quinn do you think it's weird how they get the same prize.

    Quinn. Does the person who gets last in the bike race get the lantern to? Or does the person who gets first get it.

    Yes I think it's weird. The person who is in last place get's it.
