Groupon Says
The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race
Every March, people who own at least a dozen dogs are invited to Alaska, where they'll compete against other dog owners in a 26.2-mile dogsled race. If your grade school didn't force you to learn about the Iditarod, here's what happens at various mile markers:
Mile 0: The Iditarod begins with a shot fired from a starter pistol, which temporarily deafens the drivers so they don't have to listen to their dogs barking for the next 26 miles.
Mile 3: This rest station is stocked with electric razors, providing drivers with their final opportunity to shave the dogs that contracted canine lice during the prerace ice-cream social.
Mile 5: Many competitors choose to abandon the competition at mile marker five, which begins a treacherous stretch marked by a bunch of old men dressed like babies crawling around.
Mile 9: The unofficial halfway point.
Mile 17: Drivers must swap places with their dogs. This keeps the dogs fresh for the final stretch and reminds the drivers that pulling a sled packed with a dozen dogs is not as easy it sounds.
Mile 26.2: The race is over. The fastest driver gets his or her name carved into a nearby tree.
