Lesson 8 Have Fun This Winter!
The Most Heart-Warming Winter Sport
In early March every year, the world’s biggest sled dog race takes place in Alaska.
It is called the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.
Around 80 teams of 12 to 16 dogs take part in this race.
Each team has to cover about 1,800 km from Anchorage to Nome.
The race can take more than two weeks, and the teams often race through snowstorms.
The Iditarod Race began in 1973 in memory of the dogs that saved Nome.
One cold winter day in 1925, a terrible thing happened in Nome.
Some children got very sick, and the disease kept spreading.
The people of Nome needed medicine right away, but the town did not have any.
Someone had to get it from a hospital in Anchorage.
Because of the heavy snow, a dog sled relay was the only way to get the medicine from Anchorage to Nome.
Soon, the race to Nome began.
