Gary Paulsen has competed in the iditarod three times.
I believe that he only competed 2 times.
Yea it was twice
Well, I depends on if you count the the last one he raced in. He dropped out of his third one after about 2 or 3 days so if you're talking about how many races he finished it was 2. If you're asking about how many he entered it was 3.
there are not that many, there are Caucasian, Asian and African, these 3 races spread into different directions across the world, hence we have so many people of different "colour" eg; the people in the Mediterranean are almost like an olive shade, Asian are more light beige Caucasian can go from pasty white to brownish, African can go from deepest ebony to light brown, then when people have children they can go either "colour" we all have the same "colour" blood bright red!! that is what makes us all human and brothers and sisters under the skin.
The Iditarod race begins in Anchorage, Alaska. The race ends in Nome, Alaska. The race takes place in the beginning of March.
As a fellow Mainer, I felt obligated to answer this question as we have and continue to follow Ricky Craven's career. He did indeed drive the #25 Budweiser car for Hendrick Motorsports in the late 1990s (1997/1998). Ken Schrader, Bill Elliot and Wally Dallenbach have also worn the Budweiser red and white in recent years.
The official nickname of the Iditarod's race is called The Last Great Race on Earth. The Iditarod is a sled dog race held in Nome, Alaska. ha-ha-ha. turn around. you are about to be hit.

Actually mushers have to carry lanterns food warm water a heater to warm the water and etc.
The idea of having a race over the Iditarod Trail was conceived by the late Dorothy G. Page.
there are usually around 60 people in each iditarod. some of the most famous are Jeff king and lance mackey. lance mackey won the iditarod this year around march 15. (2009)
in 1713 it was created when a little girl was being pulled on a big peice of bark by two huskys
The Jr. Iditarod protects racers and dog teams by making it just right for young competetors. They do not make it to difficult for them.
Dog sledding is a popular winter sport that includes up to 12 sled dogs pulling a leading person (called a "musher"). The musher stands in a sled/cart and the dogs pull him or her through snow.
Booties are required equipment for the Iditarod race in order to protect the dog's feet. A musher must have eight booties per dog.
Jeff King was 50 years old when he won the 2006 Iditarod making him the oldest winner. The way the 2013 race is going, it looks like this record will be broken in the next couple days, possibly by Jeff himself.
It is right at 1,012 miles from Anchorage, to Nome, Alaska,
but just about a month ago "they" officially moved the starting line, from Anchorage
to Willow, Alaska, just a few miles down the road
1,112 miles (1868km)
Technically, the Iditarod is 1149 miles long. This is so because Alaska is the 49th state. That's why the length is that.
The mushers have baskets that carry the gear on the Iditarod Trail. These baskets are used to let the dogs rest while on break.

"Mushing" refers to driving over snow with a dog sled. One or more dogs pull the sled, with the "musher," the person standing on the sled, on board. The word "mush" comes from the French "marchons" or "marche" meaning, "let's go" or "go."

They use the rankings from the races in the past for younger racers, as you get older they have a points system and this is used the same way, the lower the points the better and earlyer you race!
