The Iditarod is a grueling 1,100 mile race from Anchorage, Alaska, to Nome. Adults and children alike are attracted to the tale of heroism the race recalls. In 1925 a diphtheria epidemic threatened the people of Nome. Normally, airplanes would bring medicines to the remote town, but that winter severe weather grounded the pilots. No medicine was coming in until intrepid dog mushers and their hard-driving dogs carried the serum across 675 miles of northern Alaska wilderness in less than 128 hours. With the medicine the townspeople were saved. Race begins Saturday in Anchorage The 26th annual Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race begins Saturday in downtown Anchorage, the starting point since 1983. It's impossible to predict the exact day or time that the first musher will cross the finish line in Nome since the weather plays so critical a role in the course. Race organizers expect the winner to cross in between 9 and 12 days. In 1995 Doug Swingley completed the course in 9 days, 2 hours, 42 minutes and 19 seconds to win the Iditarod.

March 28 - The Outdoor Life Network crew recently spent a fair amount of time at Happy Trails, filming the vet check on dogs and also Martin's checkup at the doctor. We don't know how much will end up on the cutting room floor, they took a huge amount of footage. Darcy Marsh, who has covered Iditarod more than anyone else, was the chief director in the field. He traveled the trail on a snowmachine with his cameras. Much of the Iditarod footage over the years, including the old Wide World of Sports specials, was seen through Darcy's eyes. We were very excited to see him back on the trail. Joe Runyan worked incredibly hard to keep track of the race and provide the dog musher and historical expertise that will, hopefully, give the show depth. OLN will start airing the program on April 2nd. The '05 Iditarod continues to garner news. Many folks along the trail had opinions about the young Rachel Scodoris. Long time Alaskan resident and outdoor writer, Craig Medred, seemed to share the sentiments of many Alaskans about Rachel's involvement in the race.

Frequently asked questions about the Iditarod race Dogs on short tethers before the race starts [ click to enlarge How many dogs have died in the Iditarod? H ow many dogs have died or have been injured while training for the Iditarod? ... What other kennel conditions do the dogs endure? How many dogs have died in the Iditarod? In almost all of the Iditarod races, at least one dog death has occurred. The first race is reported to have resulted in the deaths of 15 to 19 dogs. In 1997, the Anchorage Daily News reported that "at least 107 (dogs) have died." In the years since that report, 12 more dogs have died in the Iditarod, bringing the grand total of dogs who have died in the Iditarod to at least 120. There is no official count of dog deaths available for the race's early years and this count relies only on a reported number of deaths. Causes of death during the last ten years have included strangulation in towlines, internal hemorrhaging after being gouged by a sled, liver injury, heart failure, and pneumonia. "Sudden death" and "external myopathy," a condition in which a dog's muscles and organs deteriorate during extreme or prolonged exercise, have also been blamed. In 1985 a musher kicked his dog to death. The 1975 Iditarod winner, Jerry Riley, was banned for life in 1990 after being accused of striking his dog with a snow hook (a large, sharp and heavy metal claw). In 1996 Rick Swenson's dog died while he mushed his team through waist-deep water and ice.

T HE O RIGIN In 1925, a diphtheria epidemic threatened the town of Nome. The much needed serum was raced from Nenana to Nome by dog team. Twenty teams relayed the medicine 674 miles in 27.5 hours! Today this historic event is commemorated with the world famous Iditarod Sled Dog Race. The competition starts in Anchorage on the first Saturday in March. The first musher arrives in Nome approximately 10- 1 2 days later. Teams continue to arrive day and night for the next week and a half. H ISTORY O F T HE R ED L ANTERN During the days of Alaska sled dog freighting and mail carrying, dog drivers relied on a series of roadhouses between their village destinations. Since these mushers ventured out in all types of weather they decided to use a "flight plan." Word was relay ed ahead that a musher and team were on the trail, and a kerosene lamp was lit and hung outside the roadhouse. It not only helped the dog driver find his destination at night, but more importantly, it signified that a team or teams were somewhere out on the trail. The lamp was not extinguished until the musher safely reached his destination. Beginning in 1986, Chevron USA continued the tradition by hanging a "Red Lantern," as it is known today, on the burl arch in Nome. Each year the lantern is lit at the beginning of the race and hung on the finish line, not to be extinguished until the very last musher crosses the finish line. Once the musher crosses the line, (s)he then extinguishes the lantern, signifying the official end of the race. Thus, the last musher in a race is called the "Red Lantern" musher.

Story Tools RELATED See this year's route Musher must-haves Iditarod official site FAIRBANKS, Alaska (CNN) A group of 64 mushers from all over the world on Monday officially begins this year's Iditarod, billed as the "Last Great Race" and arguably the best-known sled-dog race in the world. A ceremonial start was staged Saturday in Anchorage for the mushers, or sled drivers, amid unusually warm weather and rain that forced the city to search for enough snow to cover streets for the yearly event. But the action won't really begin until the "restart" in Fairbanks at 10 a.m. (2 p.m. EST) Monday. The official opening was moved about 350 miles north because of the warmer weather, the most dramatic relocation in race history, Iditarod spokesman Stan Hooley said. This year's race will miss roughly a third of the usual route and go about 100 miles farther than usual before ending in Nome after about a 1,200-mile trek.

The trail runs through the U.S. state of Alaska, from the city of Anchorage in the southeast, up the Rainy Pass of the Alaska Range into the sparsely populated Interior , and then along the shore of the Bering Sea , finally reaching Nome in the northwest. The teams cross a harsh but starkly beautiful landscape under the canopy of the Northern Lights , through tundra and spruce forests , over hills and mountain passes, and across rivers . While the start in Anchorage is in the middle of a large urban center, most of the route passes through widely-separated towns and villages, and small Athapaskan and Inuit settlements.
