Just read that ExxonMobil is not sponsoring race this year. Unfortunately another win for PETA. Race now has only one big sponsor—hotel. Makes one wonder if race can survive. So tired of hypocrites like PETA who have been responsible for animals dying but preach

I think they are involved with the 2021 race and will drop sponsorship after that. From Alaska public media: "After careful review of sponsorships in light of current economic conditions, we’ve decided to conclude our sponsorship of the Iditarod following the 2021 race,” ExxonMobil spokesperson Ashley Alemayehu said in an email to the AP. "
I am sad that will be leaving, and yes PETA is driving the "dropping" sponsorship train.
