From the Producer

UNIDITAROD Begins March 1st, 2008
 
 
 
It has been Dubbed The Last Great Race On Earth, the famed Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race pits men, women, and dogs against Alaskas bitter arctic cold, raging blizzards, and unforgiving mountain terrain as they wind their way north along frozen rivers and historic trails.

 The Iditarod was inspired after a deadly diphtheria brake out in Nome, Alaska back in 1925. Short on medical supplies, this initiated an almost impossible relay of life-saving serum from Anchorage back to Nome.

The monumental and historic event was a success and the remotely located village along the Bering Sea was saved! Today this relay is celebrated by Teams from around the World as they make this same journey north of some 1100 miles.

IDITAROD 2009 HD Video

You can’t compare it to any other competitive event in the world! A race over 1150 miles of the roughest, most beautiful terrain Mother Nature has to offer. She throws jagged mountain ranges, frozen river, dense forest, desolate tundra and miles of windswept coast at the mushers and their dog teams. Add to that temperatures far below zero, winds that can cause a complete loss of visibility, the hazards of overflow, long hours of darkness and treacherous climbs and side hills, and you have the Iditarod. A race extraordinaire, a race only possible in Alaska.

From Anchorage, in south central Alaska, to Nome on the western Bering Sea coast, each team of 12 to 16 dogs and their musher cover over 1150 miles in 10 to 17 days.

It has been called the “Last Great Race on Earth” and it has won worldwide acclaim and interest. Now you can watch the action and go behind the scenes for interviews and more in breathtaking High Definition Video.
