Shayla's thoughts about the Alaskan Iditarod!!!!

The Iditarod is a great race that is 1150 miles long.It goes over mountains through forest and frozen rivers in freezing cold weather below zero in long hours of darkness,up steep hills and not being able to see at all.This is only possible in Alaska.Each team has 12 to 16 dogs and the race last for 10 to 17 days.Film crews and magazine writers from all over the world come to see it and write about it and film it.Many different kinds of men and women join the race for many different reasons.The race is put together mostly by volunteers.
