The Iditarod National Historic Trail ran 938 miles (1,510 km) from Seward to Nome and was used during the gold rush years. Teams of dogs brought much-needed supplies to rural areas of Alaska during its unforgiving winters.
The Iditarod dog sled race, which follows the original trail, is 1,049 miles and takes 8-13 days to run. It usually starts each year on the first Saturday of March. The modern Iditarod was first run in 1973. It is considered one of the most challenging endurance sports in the world.
Sled dogs were used for transportation in Alaska up through the 1950s. The invention of the snowmobile replaced the dog teams. In 1973 the Iditarod was created to hold on to that heritage.
The route alternates every other year, trading off between the northern and southern routes mid-race. Each year, the race runs in Anchorage and ends in Nome, Alaska.
PLEASE NOTE:
Treat all televised and venue-specific events (sporting, concerts, trade shows, etc.) as estimated. Several factors can cause an event to move dates at the last minute, including weather, strikes, natural disasters, political upheaval, conflicting programming, pandemics, and current events. Because of this, always verify the event with the promotor before committing resources. LEEP often estimates dates based on the previous year's schedules, as the final dates are only a few months, weeks, or days before the event. If the date is known to be estimated, you will see an (est) following the date in the title.
