Iditarod

Akiak is a story about a sled team and the led dog Akiak. In the start of the story it shows someone talking about how the sledder never won the Iditorad race and facts about the dogs and the lead dog Akiak. In the middle of the story it is when the start of at Nome,Alaska and Akiak gets hurt so he gets on a plane and the sledder replaces Akiak with another sled dog and how Akiak jumps of the plane and wanders around looking for his sled team. At the end of the story it shows how Akiak finds his team and one of the other teams makes a trail that doesn't lead to Anchorage,Alaska and to some other place then they take the trail then Akiak comes and warns them that the trail leads to the below 0 degrees Pacific Ocean near the Aleutian Islands. And the first place sled team ends up being in second place and Akiak's team ends up in first place and win's there first Iditorad race in the Iditorad race or the Alaskan sled race from Nome to Anchorage,Alaska and Akiak's team win's. That is the main summary of start,middle,and end of the story of Akiak.

Mitch Seavey & Paul Gephurt

Actually, it wasn't Seavey and Gebhart (not Gephurt). It was Dick Mackey and Rick Swenson in 1978, with Mackey winning by one second. Both mushers were running down Front Street in Nome, sometimes on the runners and sometimes running beside their teams. Dick Mackey's lead dog crossed the line first, but Swenson was the first human over the line. However, it was determined that the winner was the one whose lead dog's nose crossed the finish line first. Mackey's lead dog's nose crossed that line one second before Swenson's dog, which is to date the closest finish in I-rod history. (The 2010 race is still underway, however, so that could change!)

Just over 1,150 miles

The Alaskan sled dog is very tough. It has a thick coat, and is a well built, well muscled dog that can run all day. During the Iditarod they may wear a jacket and booties to keep the paws from being cut. But they were bred for this work.

it is the award giving to the last musher to cross the finish line and first to win now lets kiss

none if the owner and trainer were treating it correctly.

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.

A pro to the Iditarod is that the food for the dogs contain fat in them. The dogs usually eat fatty fish, beef, and lamb. A con is that the sled dogs are forced to race when they can suffer from heart failure, pneumonia, and sled accidents. A second pro is that the dogs MUST where booties to prevent frostbite and cut paws. Another con is that dogs' mushers can injure or even kill the huskies if they don't do what the musher wants them to do.

Jeff King Is the oldest musher to run the Iditarod By Emily Elizabeth Wells

Close Emily. Jeff King was the oldest to win, but Colonel Norman Vaughn was the oldest to finish the race at age 86.

They sleep at the checkpoint stops. If they want they can make an igloo or something that they might rather sleep in then the checkpoint where a lot of other teams are.

There is no biographical information available except that he lived in Red Devil, Alaska (on the Kuskokwim River in south central Alaska).

Wilmarth won the inaugural Iditarod trail Sled Dog Race in 1973.

The start of the race is in Anchorage, AK and it ends in Nome, AK
