Iditarod is the most competitive sled dog race in the world, bringing together the best dog mushers from all corners of earth. Dogteams from Europe, Russia, even unexpected countries such as Jamaica, Australia, Japan in the southern hemisphere to a large representation from Scandinavia and of course, Canada and across the United States come to travel ‘a 1000 miles, or some 1600 km’ literally across the mighty state of Alaska.
