Grades 3-12, with parental supervision The Iditarod begins on March 6, 2021! Billed as “The Last Great Race On Earth,” mushers and their dog teams race over 1,000 miles across Alaska’s mountain ranges, frozen rivers, dense forests, desolate tundra, and windswept coast. In a period of 10 to 17 days each team’s dogs and their musher race from Anchorage, in south-central Alaska, to Nome on the western Bering Sea coast. They endure temperatures far below zero, winds that can cause a complete loss of visibility, long hours of darkness, and treacherous terrain. At this “official” Iditarod website you’ll find information about the history of this race, exclusive race coverage, and free, Iditarod-themed lessons and activities to enhance learning in math, science, language arts, social sciences, and more. When you get to the site, you’ll see some featured articles, videos, and highlights.
