The course covers territory from Anchorage to Nome, in Alaska.

The race cannot be run without sled dogs.

The race is run in March of each year, in Alaska.

The race is a symbolic link to the early history of the state of Alaska.

The race is run, in Alaska, on what used to be a communication and transportation link to rest of the world.
