The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race first ran to Nome in 1973, after two short races on part of the Iditarod Trail in 1967 and 1969.
The first year the iditarod ran was in 1973. :)

The number of participants in the Iditarod sled dog race varies each year, but typically there are around 50-60 mushers who compete in the race, along with hundreds of sled dogs.

In 1973 Actually the first race to Nome was held that year,the first actuall race was in 1967 and i ran across this Q trying to find where it started and ended,all I know is that it was shorter than the present day race.
The Iditarod dog sled race is known as "The Last Great Race" and it is run each year in Alaska. The dogs pull the sleds from Anchorage to Nome.
The Iditarod sled dog race starts on the first Saturday in march and it officially starts in Willow Alaska. Anchorage is just for the Parade! This year in 2012 it starts on March 3rd 2012 @ 10:00am
