Iditarod, The Last Great Race
You can't compare it to any other competitive event in the world! A race over 1840 kilometers of the roughest, most
beautiful terrain Mother Nature has to offer. She throws jagged mountain ranges, frozen river, dense forest,
desolate tundra and miles of windswept coast at the mushers and their dog teams. Add to that temperatures far
below zero, winds that can cause a complete loss of visibility, the hazards of overflow, long hours of darkness
and treacherous climbs and side hills, and you have the Iditarod. A RACE EXTRAORDINAIRE, a race only possible in Alaska.
