In January/February 1925, to combat a diptheria epidemic, dog sled teams relayed diptheria serum from Nenana to Nome. It was also known at the Great Race of Mercy.

Probably LSD.... yes drugs but it was actually very effective not even kidding
The epidemic that hit Nome in 1925 was diphtheria. Due to the urgent need for a life-saving serum to prevent the spread of the disease, a group of sled dogs, led by Balto, raced across Alaska to deliver the medicine to Nome. This event became known as the Nome Serum Run or the Great Race of Mercy.
The serum couldn't be flown directly to Nome because of harsh winter conditions that made air travel unsafe. Instead, it had to be relayed by dog sled teams in a heroic effort known as the 1925 Serum Run or "Great Race of Mercy."
Togo was a Siberian Husky sled dog who played a key role in the 1925 serum run to Nome, Alaska. He is considered a hero for helping transport diphtheria antitoxin to the town during a health crisis. Togo has since passed away but his legacy lives on in the story of the serum run.
the iditarod originated from the serum run.
