The Toughest Race on Earth
The Iditarod (called the Toughest Race on Earth) is a 1,000 mile sled dog race through the Alaskan wilderness. It is a grueling (what does that word mean?) race that shows the incredible bond humans and dogs can have. I have been interested in the Iditarod for about 3 years now, and I love teaching it! When I get back this is what we will be learning about. I can't wait!
