yes. example: every musher in the iditarod race can spend 24 hours only once at a checkpoint. so it would be a good idea when they are tired to stop at a checkpoint for 24 hours since they only get to do it once. they all have limited time at checkpoint. if u r confused, go 2 the iditarod website.
okay.so to get in Iditarod race you need to go there and get some practice.They will put you in 3-4 races for practice.then you are a rookie.They you have to participate in the race. and after you win some races you are not rookie.you are a Iditarod musher.
There are a number of behaviors that could disqualify a musher from the Iditarod race. Two of the most common are animal neglect or cruelty or sabotage of other teams or mushers. Dogs are also checked for illegal drugs.
The father of the iditarod is Joe Redington and the mother is Dorothy Page:)
The iditarod should run for ever as it's man and animal working together in there highest form. Alaska would not be Alaska with out sled dogs.
75 kilometers per hour
find some trees or shrubs!
Well you have to send food for your dogs and if you take meds. you have to ship those,but I think there might be something else.
You have to be atleast 21 years and older to enter the Iditarod race.
Mush! Hike! All Right! Le t's Go!
They run all year and slowly increase their distance and speed each time they run. ( they are still using a sled to pull the musher)
because it is a tradition every year and people may risk their life, but only the bravest souls do.
