The Iditarod is an annual race for dog teams and their drivers across Alaska. It always begins on the first Saturday in March. Today it’s a very competitive race. Participants compete for prizes worth thousands of dollars and the winners become celebrities. The race is dangerous and is a real test of endurance for the drivers and their dogs. The Iditarod began in 1973 to remember another race, a race against time to save the people of the town of Nome.
