This is a forum for general discussion of dogsled racing, with a special focus on Alaska, and is open to all. It is expected that this area will see the most activity during the months leading up to, and during the annual Iditarod sled dog race. Pictures from races can be posted here. 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!

No Siberians this year. Don't know if anyone follows Karen Ramstead but her lead dog Crunchie just passed away. He led her to Nome several times. Classy lady.

that was first year the trackers were tried. Only a few sleds had them. didn't Martin get a something,(talking to, slap on hand,) for doing that? We thought itn was funny. Martin was running around in his Hawaiian shirt.

I am sure this information is somewhere,but I can't find it. What is the amount of money the mushers win?

Found this nugget on FB:
Vicky Carson Delgado :Just a bit of interesting history. Rookie Joe Carson #12, is carrying the ashes of his grandpa, Carl Fritzler, who was one of the first trail breakers for the first Iditarod. This has spurred Joe on to get to Nome. Joe's uncle, Mark Fritzler, would have flown to Nome with the ashes, but has MS and is at his home in Wasilla. Carl came to Alaska in 1932 and was married to Wasilla pioneer Vicky Edlund Fritzler. (Lots of news articles on them in archives.)
