Every February, four dozen athletes are invited to Alaska to embark on a journey that will test their bodies and minds, their wills to succeed and their wills to live. The Iditarod Trail Invitational is the world's longest, toughest, and most remote ultra marathon, challenging competitors to travel 1000 miles across the Alaskan tundra on bike, foot, or ski. More people have summited Everest in an afternoon than have cycled from Anchorage to Nome. This year, however, twenty-six racers will attempt to complete the entire 1000-mile Iditarod Trail. The fastest time ever recorded is 12 days. The longest is more than 30 feet. The unknowns draw these elite athletes here year after year in search of purpose and excitement, but it's those same unknowns that make this one of the most dangerous races on the planet. How willing are you to lose your toes, your hands, or someone you care about? That is the result of not being prepared on the Iditarod Trail.
