And They're Off!

One of the last Great Races, The Iditarod Sled Dog Race, gets underway at 9:30 AM AST today with the Ceremonial Start in Anchorage, Alaska. (The official restart will occur tomorrow at Willow.) There are 82 teams entered in the event. The grueling race will take anywhere from 11 days on to travel from Anchorage to Nome, a distance of 1122 miles.

Visit The Official Site of the Iditarod to follow the action. (It’s a helluva lot better than being out there in the sub-zero cold!)
