Iditarod dogs typically race around 12 to 14 hours per day during the event. The race strategy often includes running for several hours, followed by rest periods to allow the dogs to recuperate. This cycle helps maintain the dogs' stamina and health throughout the grueling 1,000-mile race. The daily hours can vary depending on the team's strategy and the trail conditions.
