The Iditarod got its name from the Iditarod Trail, a historic route used for transporting goods and mail in Alaska during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The word "Iditarod" is derived from the native Yup'ik language, meaning "distant place." The race itself was established in 1973 to preserve the history and culture of dog mushing and to commemorate the 1925 serum run to Nome. Today, it is known as one of the toughest sled dog races in the world.
