With its varying route dictated by the current snow pack, this renowned course covers more than 1,100 miles and calls to dog sled competitors from all over the world. This race began as a celebration of the successful fight for lives and the relay team that managed to deliver Diphtheria vaccine to the Nome, Alaska residents. It has progressed from a camping lark to a fast-paced, exhausting journey. Recent winners have finished in just less than nine days. No admission is charged for viewing the ceremonial start in Anchorage's downtown streets. Also, the Iditarod Headquarters is a pleasant place to learn more about the race and its history. See the website for further details.
