In the early 1900s the Iditarod trail was used to bring serum to Nome.
The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race first ran to Nome in 1973, after two short races on part of the Iditarod Trail in 1967 and 1969.The first year the iditarod ran was in 1973. :)
The Iditarod Trail was a trail used to transport goods that ran from Seward, passed through Iditarod, then ended in Nome. Iditarod was named after the Iditarod River. In the early 1900s, it saw a boom due to gold mining. After the gold was exhausted, the town became a ghost town.
Mary Shields was one of two women to be the first to participate in the Iditarod Trail Race in 1974, and the first to finish the Iditarod. She placed 23rd then.
There is a town on the iditarod trail named idtarod, so they named the trail after it i guess.
The mushers have baskets that carry the gear on the Iditarod Trail. These baskets are used to let the dogs rest while on break.
