Description
This dog sled competition runs in Alaska in March each year. The roots of this race go back to the historic 1927 serum run made by dog sleds to help the children of Nome during a diphtheria epidemic when even planes could not get in. Today, the 1,000-mile race is done in less than 10 days. It began in 1973 and attracts nearly 100 contestants who drive dogs towards Nome. Don’t worry; the dogs love it. The dogs are checked by vets at each station.
