5. IDITAROD FACTS:
+“Termed ‘The Last Great Race on Earth,’ the Iditarod, named for an old gold mining town in the state’s Interior, represented the ultimate wilderness challenge. It was man (or woman) against the elements, with only sled dogs for companions, comfort and transportation. The Iditarod is a throwback race, an event with its origins stemming from a bygone era.”-Lew Freedman
+The 1,100-mile Iditarod is a race across our nation's most forbidding, demanding, and dangerous territory.
+Iditarod is to Alaska what the Kentucky Derby is to Louisville or the Indianapolis 500 is to Indiana. It is a symbol of the Last Frontier.
+From iditarod.com:
*The first Iditarod race to Nome started March 3, 1973.
*The teams average 16 dogs, which means over 1,000 dogs leave Anchorage for Nome. *There are 26 checkpoints on the northern route, the first in Anchorage and the last in Nome. On the southern route, there are 27 checkpoints.
*Educators in all 50 states, many countries around the world and on most continents, connect the race in curriculum connections. Tens of thousands of students, preschool through university level, complete Iditarod related school projects to practice their skills in math, science, social studies, reading, writing, technology, and other curriculum areas. Preschool teachers use the race to help develop beginning math and reading skills, university professors use the race to inspire students to use real time math data from real events to gain skills in statistics class, and all curriculum areas in between help students build basic skills through the Iditarod activities.
