The Iditarod sled dog race begins March 7 in downtown Anchorage with the restart on March 8 in Willow.  Just like the Yukon Quest that runs from Whitehorse to Fairbanks, The Iditarod is an endurance race where you battle the distance as well as the elements. You never know if there will be snow on the trail, wind, blizzards, overflow…

There's a special Canine blogger for the race - Zuma's Paw Prints gives more information about the athletes themselves (the dogs) then other happenings.

Once again, I have chosen my favorite musher to follow during the race, can you guess? Yep, Marty Buser! Go Marty!
