IdiTarod BY Grace P.
Introduction • The Iditarod is a dog sled race in Alaska. The race begins in Anchorage Alaska and it ends in Nome Alaska. The first Iditarod to Nome started on March 3, 1973. The Iditarod race started when people in Nome Alaska became ill. They did not have medicine so some of the people in Anchorage traveled to Nome and delivered the medication. That is how the Iditarod race began.
