Who knew there was a human Iditarod race in Alaska? And the contestants use bicycles or skis or “hoof it” — in the snow on trails that aren’t as well-packed as dog trails? It’s billed as the “world’s longest winter ultra-marathon.” Read the article by Craig Medred in the Alaska Dispatch, where he lauds Tracey Petervary, who claimed a new record for the 350-mile trail that is the “toughest winter race” in Alaska and includes the 350-mile version, or for those seeking more adventure, the 1100-mile race.
