| The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race is an intense 1150 mile sled dog race running from Anchorage in South Central Alaska to Nome on the Western Bering Sea. The race celebrates the 1925 serum run to save the people of Nome. The serum run covered 674 miles between Nenana and Nome in relay fashion.
The first Iditarod was run in 1973 and was won by Dick Wilmarth from Red Devil, Alaska. This historic first running took twenty days for the winner to cross the finish line. Some of the more recent winners have done so in just over 9 days. In recent years, Robert Sorlie of Hurdal, Norway, Jeff King of Denali Park, Alaska, Martin Buser of Big Lake, Alaska and Doug Swingley of Simms, Montana have held the top spots. |
