In 1973, when an epidemic of dipetheria hit the city of Nome in western Alaska. Unfortunatly, the antitoxin could only be found in Anchorage, in the other side of Alaska. Airplanes were very new, and and only flew during the short summer. It was agreed that the antitoxin would be taken to Nenuana by train, and then a team if dog sled teams would take it to Nome. This is where the Iditarod came from.
