it is a dogsled race from one end of Alaska to the other. A team of anywhere from 12 to 16 dogs pull a sled with a musher (dog controller) across the snow and ice. The Winner gets a cash prize and usually a trophy, but most of the people that win, do it mostly for the fun of it.
The Iditarod is a celebration of the loyalty and courage of the sled dog.
Sled dogs have played a very important role in the history and culture of Alaska and the North Country.
The Iditarod places humans and dogs together in a very challenging event that strengthens the bond between all members of the team.
Teamwork is the only way to get to the finish line, as "...common sense and good sportsmanship shall prevail."It is name afther the iditarod trail which is indian for clear water
the first purpose was to get medicine to people in Nome, AK who had diphtheria
the Iditarod was started in honor of the serum race and all the people and dogs who ran in it to save the town of Nome because diphtheria was spreading
diphtheria is important in the iditarod because the iditarod is a race based on the serum run. without the disease there would have been no serum run and there would have been no iditarod
in memory of the incident where this dude had to get medicine to nome from ancrage (I no I spelled that wrong) a long time ago
