Can Alaskan Malamutes run the Iditarod?

Generally no, Alaskan Malamutes are rarely, if ever, used in the Iditarod. This is because Iditarod racers breed their own variety of crossbred dogs that perform better in the endurance-testing race. Purebred Alaskan Malamutes are too heavy and prone to inherited illness to be used, although theoretically they could be used. The more experienced racers use a mixture of Labrador, Lurcher and Husky dogs to pull their sleds.
