Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race Galleries
The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race has been called The Last Great Race. It was started in 1925 when the only way to get life-saving serum to diptheria-ridden Nome, Alaska was by sled dog from Anchorage, a distance of 1150 miles. Today, almost 100 mushers with their teams of 12-16 dogs battle sub-zero temperatures over 10-17 days as they travel this historic trial encountering mountain ranges, frozen rivers, overflow ice, whiteouts, dense forest, barren tundra, and windswept coastline.
