The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race covers approximately 1,000 miles, representing the historic route between Anchorage and Nome, Alaska. This distance reflects the original mail and supply route used during the gold rush and later for dog sled teams to deliver medicine during a diphtheria outbreak in 1925. The race not only tests the endurance of the dogs and mushers but also pays homage to this vital part of Alaskan history.
