If you are still unsure what the Iditarod is all about, I recommend checking out Ididtarod: The Toughest Race on Earth. This video, done by the Discovery Channel, follows 96 sledding teams of mushers and dogs as they vie for the 2008 Iditarod title in Alaska's remote and rugged wilderness. It's available on Netflix in their "watch instantly" section. You Tube also has some of the episodes on their site.
The mushers highlighted in this series, Lance Mackey, Martin Buser, and DeeDee Jonrow are all Iditarod legends who are also participating in the 2013 race. You can choose Buser or Jonrow as your musher to follow for just a $25 donation. Mackey is already chosen by a fellow employee.
If you do watch the series, let us know what you think of it. I found it fascinating to see an insider's view of what happens during the race. It totally confirmed my opinion that the people who decide to run this race are a little crazy. :-)
