Citing a warming climate and sprawling development, officials with the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race said Wednesday they were implementing permanent logistical changes that in recent years have become the norm for the March event.

Family members embraced the 37-year-old throat cancer survivor, who reached down and rubbed the heads of his dogs. "I'm not much to brag very often, but damn, I'm going to this time," said Mackey. "I don't know exactly how to explain it. I'm just blessed with an incredible dog team." He received congratulatory phone calls from his father, Dick Mackey, a former Iditarod champion, and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. Palin told Mackey: "You're a hero, and truly an inspiration to all of us."

50. 1996 Iditarod - History
    Today this historic event is commemorated with the world famous iditarod Sled Dog Race. The competition starts in Anchorage on the first Saturday in March.

    Extractions: T HE O RIGIN In 1925, a diphtheria epidemic threatened the town of Nome. The much needed serum was raced from Nenana to Nome by dog team. Twenty teams relayed the medicine 674 miles in 27.5 hours! Today this historic event is commemorated with the world famous Iditarod Sled Dog Race. The competition starts in Anchorage on the first Saturday in March. The first musher arrives in Nome approximately 10- 1 2 days later. Teams continue to arrive day and night for the next week and a half. H ISTORY O F T HE R ED L ANTERN During the days of Alaska sled dog freighting and mail carrying, dog drivers relied on a series of roadhouses between their village destinations. Since these mushers ventured out in all types of weather they decided to use a "flight plan." Word was relay ed ahead that a musher and team were on the trail, and a kerosene lamp was lit and hung outside the roadhouse. It not only helped the dog driver find his destination at night, but more importantly, it signified that a team or teams were somewhere out on the trail. The lamp was not extinguished until the musher safely reached his destination. Beginning in 1986, Chevron USA continued the tradition by hanging a "Red Lantern," as it is known today, on the burl arch in Nome. Each year the lantern is lit at the beginning of the race and hung on the finish line, not to be extinguished until the very last musher crosses the finish line. Once the musher crosses the line, (s)he then extinguishes the lantern, signifying the official end of the race. Thus, the last musher in a race is called the "Red Lantern" musher.

    Extractions: the First Day of the "Last Great Race" I t started three-quarters of a century ago with a serum run from Anchorage to the coastal community of Nome in Northwest Alaska. There were no roads then between the two communities more than 1,000 miles apart, and there are none today. A train took the serum as far as Nenana. It was carried for the last 674 miles by dogsled. A relay of 20 mushers responded to the medical emergency a diphtheria epidemic. T he photos on this page are from the 1996 race. On March 2nd, 1996, about 900 dogs and their mushers gathered on Fourth Avenue in downtown Anchorage to set off on a similar trip. This time it was simply for the adventure of it. Several were hoping to win some of the $300,000 prize money in the 24th running of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race but most could not expect to even meet their expenses. (A local sports writer referred to $100,000 dog kennels in a story about a musher he described as an exception to that trend.) O n the first day of the race, 60 mushers - most of them Alaskans but some from as far away as Norway, Italy and Japan - raced 20 miles from downtown Anchorage to Eagle River.

Born in New Hampshire, her 50 years of dog sled racing experience began with a race when she was 11 and pulled by the family pet - a Saint Bernard. She later gained sprint race experience with New England and Lakes region sled dogs but had to put the sport on hold when she moved to southeast Alaska with her husband in 1981 given the lack of consistent snow cover in that region. After they purchased some land in the Yukon territory for maintaining and training dogs several years later, she was able to take up the sport again this time concentrating on distance racing, and by 2000 she finished the 1000 mile Yukon Quest winning the red lantern award for that race. After waiting out a storm at the Rainy Point checkpoint while the rest of the teams pushed on, she found very little in the way of trail markers when she returned to the trail. She incorrectly ended up on Ptarmigan Pass following tracks laid down by the Irondog snowmobile race held prior to the Iditarod. Searchers worried about her spotted her from air on that pass the next day. The substantial detour along with spending the night hunkered down in a makeshift camp drying out from gear soaked from overflow had her team checking into Rohn 1 and 1/2 days later and a full 12 hours after the last musher had left that checkpoint. That ordeal left her no choice but to scratch and a renewed commitment to retirement. However, her husband signed her up for the 2008 race and soon she decided he was right and prepared in earnest for the race.

In almost all of the Iditarod races, at least one dog death has occurred. The first race is reported to have resulted in the deaths of 15 to 19 dogs. In 1997, the Anchorage Daily News reported that "at least 107 (dogs) have died." In the years since that report, 29 more dogs have died in the Iditarod, bringing the grand total of dogs who have died in the Iditarod to at least 136. There is no official count of dog deaths available for the race's early years and this count relies only on a reported number of deaths. Causes of death during the last ten years have included strangulation in towlines, internal hemorrhaging after being gouged by a sled, liver injury, heart failure, and pneumonia. "Sudden death" and "external myopathy," a condition in which a dog's muscles and organs deteriorate during extreme or prolonged exercise, have also been blamed. In 1985 a musher kicked his dog to death. The 1975 Iditarod winner, Jerry Riley, was banned for life in 1990 after being accused of striking his dog with a snow hook (a large, sharp and heavy metal claw). In 1996 Rick Swenson's dog died while he mushed his team through waist-deep water and ice.
