THE LAST GREAT RACE
 
 
Welcome to Iditarod Central!  This is a six lesson course that will transport you into the world of the Iditarod, racing down the trail right along next to veteran mushers like Martin Buser, Jeff King and Lance Mackey, and encouraging the rookies to continue on regardless of the obstacles that may “jump” out at them on the long trail from Anchorage to Nome.  It is indeed a race that tests the stamina and physical ability of even the best and most experienced of mushers.  So purchase a sled, choose and train your team of dogs, pack up your equipment and join us at the start line in Anchorage for all of the excitement, when the “LAST GREAT RACE ON EARTH” starts again this year.
