Races are created or established, not invented.
In the case of the Ididarod, it was proposed as a part of the celebration of the centennial of the purchase of Alaska by the United States. Dorothy G. Page, chairman of the Centennial Committee first proposed a race to cove a portion of the Ididarod Trail and the first race was run in 1967.
Joe Reddington, Sr. school teachers, Gleo Huyck and Tom Johnson proposed extending the race to cover the entire 1000+ miles of the Trail. The first true Ididarod race, covering the entire trail, was run in 1973.
