Sign-up Mike
is officially signed up to run the 2009 "Last Great Race"
the Iditarod. Follow his progress as he prepares for this
historical sled dog race.
A couple hundred fans and mushers attended the annual volunteer
picnic and first day for the 2009 mushers sign up. At least
68 mushers signed up to date. With a limit of 100 mushers
able to enter this years race many mushers quickly put their
$4,000 entry fee down to ensure a place in the last great
race.
The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, usually just called the
"Iditarod", is an annual dogsled race in Alaska,
where mushers and teams of dogs cover about 1,151 miles (1,853
km) in nine to fifteen days. The Iditarod began in 1973 as
an event to test the best mushers and teams, evolving into
the highly competitive race it is today.
