The Iditarod Dog Sled Race : 1,161 Miles Separate Willow and Nome

By: Johnson, Taft

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. On the first Saturday of March each year, mushers and their teams of sled dogs take on more than 1,000 miles of grueling Alaskan terrain in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. The race between Willow and Nome takes anywhere from nine to 15 days. The Iditarod began in 1973 as an event to test the best sled dog mushers and teams but evolved into today's highly competitive race. The current fastest winning time record was set in 2002 by Martin Buser with a time of 8 days, 22 hours, 47 minutes, and 2 seconds. This book revisits the highlights of this storied race while giving readers a more intimate look at the champions.
