  • The History of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race® Since 1973, Mushers
    The History of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race® Since 1973, mushers have challenged themselves in a race nicknamed The Last Great Race on Earth®, racing each March from Anchorage to Nome, Alaska. Nearly a thousand miles in length, mushers and teams travel over mountain ranges, through monotonous, flat tundra, to the western Alaskan coast and finally to the town of Nome, established when gold was discovered there in 1898. By 1899, Nome's population numbered 10,000. The route that most of the race follows is a trail that was created long before the race became a race. Used by Native Alaskans for hunting and travel to various villages, the Iditarod Trail was cleared in 1908 by government employees, but it wasn't until the 1910 gold discoveries in Iditarod which is a ghost town now, Ruby, Ophir, Flat, Nome, Elim, and other villages, that it became regularly used as a means of supplying miners and settlements with mail and supplies, delivered by dog team. It also provided the route for gold to be sent out of Alaska when the Bering Sea was frozen, preventing ships from reaching Nome for months at a time. Dog sled teams carried gold to the ice-free bay at Seward to be loaded on ships there. Before the time of airplanes delivering mail and supplies to remote Alaskan areas, dog teams did the job. Alaskan Natives had been using dog teams in their way of life, a subsistence lifestyle which depended upon hunting, fishing, and gathering to provide food. Dog teams helped them travel, carry game they hunted, and carry food and water.

As is tradition, the race begins in Anchorage, Alaska on the first Saturday of March. Oh, hey, there’s Joe Redington! Hi, Joe, how are you? Joe: Hi, Snowy. I am well today. Very excited as I am every year at the beginning of the Iditarod. This is the thirty-sixth year, you know. Snowy: Yes. That is just incredible! As the “father” of the Iditarod, could you give the viewers at home some information on how this tradition began? Joe: I would love to. The start in Anchorage is a tradition that commemorates the 1925 Serum Run from Anchorage to Nome. In 1925, there was an outbreak of the deadly disease, diphtheria in the city of Nome. The closest medicine was here in Anchorage. The doctors needed to get the medicine as soon as possible. So, the medicine was sent North by train to the end of the railway in Nenana. From Nenana, there was a sled dog relay to get the medicine the remaining 674 miles. Snowy: What time of year was this? Joe: Well, that was the problem. It was the middle of the winter, the end of January.
