Vivica Iditarod

In Iditarod is a dogs sled race held every March in Alaska.The 2008 Iditarod will begin on March 1 . In this race mushers ( dogs sled drivers) force their dogs to run 1,150 miles from Anchorage to Nome in 8 to 16 days over a grueling terrain. This is the approximate distance between Los Angeles and Seattle, New York City and Miami, Chicago and Houston. Mushers press their dogs to run at ever increasing speeds, so that the dogs get little rest or sleep.
