About the Iditarod Trail Race
The Iditarod Trail Invitational follows a 1,000 mile sled-dog route from Knik Lake, near Anchorage, to Nome, or the 350 mile route which ends in McGrath. The race takes place on bike, foot and skis with competitors out in the extreme conditions that the Alaskan wilderness brings in winter for almost 20 days.
