00:07.340 --> 00:08.340
mhm

00:11.740 --> 00:14.820
No . Every year , downtown Anchorage is

00:14.820 --> 00:16.870
host to the start of the ceremonial

00:16.870 --> 00:19.640
Iditarod . This is the 40th race which

00:19.640 --> 00:23.580
carries on for over 1,049 miles Brent

00:23.580 --> 00:25.560
sass a musher from wild and free

00:25.560 --> 00:28.270
mushing says this is truly a unique

00:28.270 --> 00:30.326
experience that everyone should come

00:30.326 --> 00:32.214
out and see . It's a great Alaska

00:32.214 --> 00:34.381
tradition , no doubt . And just so you

00:34.381 --> 00:36.492
see the how much these dogs love what

00:36.492 --> 00:38.548
they do , There's no doubt . I think

00:38.548 --> 00:40.603
anyone that the skeptic of the sport

00:40.603 --> 00:40.370
should come down here and check it out ,

00:40.380 --> 00:42.602
because when you see that there's gonna

00:42.602 --> 00:44.769
be thousands of dogs and all they want

00:44.769 --> 00:46.991
to do is pull all we're doing is giving

00:46.991 --> 00:49.324
them ability to do what they love to do .

00:49.324 --> 00:48.920
So I think that's the most exciting

00:48.920 --> 00:51.087
part of the dogs come down and see the

00:51.087 --> 00:53.142
dogs , who cares about us , It's all

00:53.142 --> 00:55.309
about the dogs , The race has over 800

00:55.309 --> 00:58.260
dogs , 66 teams and will run from

00:58.260 --> 01:01.530
willow to nome go

01:01.540 --> 01:04.960
erman first class . They're attracted

01:04.970 --> 01:07.110
to Joint base Elmendorf Richardson

01:07.120 --> 01:10.560
Alaska . Mm

01:11.340 --> 01:15.020
Okay , mm
