Iditarod 2019


Saturday was spent watching the (ceremonial) start of the Iditarod 2019.  The mushers and their dogs got to show off their skills and their joy of the sport to the eager crowds in Anchor-town.  On Sunday they started again at Willow, all packed up for the 998 mile trail to Nome.



The dogs were all smiles and put on a good show for the crowds. 
They sure do love this sport and even more they love to run!



All the mushers gladly connected with the well-wishing hands of the kids along the trail.


Pro-tip: if you get thirsty on the trail be a snow eater, scoop up some snow and keep running!


Have a happy day! Remember to always put your best foot forward with a smile on your face and a skip in your step.  And if you are ever in doubt just keep moving on down the trail.

Best of luck to the mushers and their teams! May they all have a safe race to Nome!
