Sweet Iditardo Trail Race Welcome Sign

Headquarters*Wasilla Alaska

It is a National Historic Trail, so designated by the Congress of the United States. From Seward on the South Central Coast to Nome on the Bering Sea. It is a highway, a mail route, & a gold avenue from the interior, part of it became a lifeline for Diptheria Serum to be carried to Nome during the epidemic of 1925.

 

It is now a trappers trail, a recreation trail, still a lifeline for some villages, & the avenue for the most challenging & demanding long distance sled dog race in the world.

 

"The Iditarod," 1049 miles Anchorage to Nome through Alaska wilderness, over mountain passes, down frozen rivers & along the wind swept sea coast, truly the majesty & mystery that is "The Last Greta Race On Earth."
