Follow the Iditarod

If you love adventure, the thrill of a race, cold weather (!), and dogs you will enjoy following The Iditarod. This race pits teams of sled dogs on a race from Anchorage to Nome Alaska over 1150 miles of rugged, frozen, terrain. Stop in the Children's Room to select a book on Alaska or the race and follow the progress of the sled dog teams online. Check a blog written by a wonderful canine reporter who will put you close to the action.

The top five mushers crossed the finish line on March 12, but there are many more racers with their dog teams out on the course. The Iditarod is not officially over until the last musher comes into Nome. You can continue to follow the race on www.iditarod.com.
