The first long Iditarod race ran to Nome was in 1973. This race was inspired by the historic serum run to Nome in 1925, during which dog sled teams delivered diphtheria antitoxin to the town.
The Nome Serum Run traveled about 674 miles in just under 5 and a half days at an average speed of around 6 mph. In comparison, the fastest modern Iditarod average speed was achieved by in 2021 by Dallas Seavey at around 9.3 mph. This means the Nome Serum Run was over 3 mph slower on average than the fastest modern Iditarod race.
"Rod" in Iditarod refers to the Iditarod Trail in Alaska, which was historically used as a route for delivering mail and supplies during the gold rush. The Iditarod Trail later became famous for the sled dog race that follows the same route, known as the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.
