because the dogs are the athletes, I guess

that and they'd have to transport 20 some odd dogs, and if the weather is bad they couldn't make the amount of snow needed so there's a lot of money down the drain


the Iditarod is basically the olympics of dog sledding :rock:

Thanks for your reply, Toni.............I figured since they had equestrian in the summer Oly's where the horses are center stage, why not dogs in the winter?

I read a story every year to my second graders about the Iditarod and show them where Alaska is........they love it! 42

true but I think the fact that the weather is completely unpredictable takes the possibility of it ever happening out completely :)

The Iditarod rules all!
