there is an Iditarod to honor the serum run in Alaska in the early 19 hundreds. several children were dying from dipitheria in nome, Alaska and they had to get medicine there before it spread and killed everyone. they stationed dogsled teams at "checkpoints" and made it a relay, which in the 19 seventies they made a 1,147 mile long race that had to be completed by one team itself, instead of a relay. the dogs are taken care of properly. this year (2009) Lance Mackey (now 3 time winner) came in first on around march 15. theck out the website, www.iditarod.com. i only know this because my best friend is a real fanatic about it, and I'm the only one willing to sit there and listen to it.
