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.
The actual speed of the sled dogs in the Iditarod varies from mile to mile, check point, to check point, race to race. However, the record for the fastest time any sled team has finished the Iditarod was set in 2002 by Martin Buser. He and his team completed the entire trip from Anchorage to Nome, 1,161 miles, in 8 days 22 hours 46 minutes and 2 seconds.
Dick Wilmarth won the first Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in 1973 with a team of 12 dogs. It took him 20 days, 49 minutes, and 41 seconds.
