The Iditarod is a renowned long-distance sled dog race that takes place annually in Alaska, covering approximately 1,000 miles from Anchorage to Nome. Celebrated as "The Last Great Race on Earth," it tests the endurance of both mushers and their dog teams against harsh Arctic conditions. The race commemorates the historic serum run of 1925 that delivered diphtheria antitoxin to Nome. With its challenging terrain and unpredictable weather, the Iditarod showcases the bond between humans and dogs in an extraordinary adventure.
The first woman to win the Iditarod was Susan Butcher, who achieved this historic milestone in 1986. She went on to win the race three times, in 1986, 1987, and 1990, becoming one of the most celebrated mushers in the event's history. Butcher's victories helped pave the way for greater female participation in the sport.
