Iditarod Media Stories

This is a forum for general discussion of dogsled racing, with a special focus on Alaska, and is open to all.

Hosting is provided by the Bering Strait School District (BSSD), and the area is open all year. Care to be one of our volunteer moderators? Contact us!

Iditarod Media Stories

Hope that subject line is broad enough but wanted a place to post media stories about the race or the mushers. This first one is amazing and I had no idea of her story when I put her in my TTP!

Libby the lab:

Thanks for posting amazing story of Kat Keith and her determination. A wonderful account of her inspiration in the Yukon Quest and her survival of personal tragedy. Author (whose name escapes me) of the written article captures Keith's story so well, including John Baker's and Kat's relationship. Wishing them a safe journey in the 2017 Iditarod and the best of everything ahead.

Looking forward to watching their progress during the race.

Regards,
