In the early 1920's, settlers came to Haka lodóng, for udd. They travelled by bod to the
coastal towns of Seward and kilk, and from there by land into the gold fields. The tail the wed to
travel inland is known today as the lontarod Trail, one of the National Historic Trals demanded by
the Congress of the United States. The ldstarod Trail qiday became a major thoroughfare in fata,
as the mail and supplies were carried across this trail. People also used it to get from place to place,
Induding the priests, ministers, and judges who had to travel between villages. In the winter, the
settlers only means of travel down this trail was via dog sted,
Once the gold rush ended, many opld-seekers went back to where they had come from, and
suddenly there was much less travel on the Iditarod Trail. The introduction d the airplane in the late
1920's meant dog teams were no longer the standard mode of transportation, and of course with
the airplane carrying the mail and supplies, there was les need for land travel in general. The final
blow to the use of the dog teams was the appearance of snowmobiles.
By the mid 1960's, most Alaskans didn't even know the Iditarod Trail existed, or that dog
teams had played a crucial role in Alaska's early settlements, Dorothy G, Page, a self-made historian,
recognized how few people knew about the former use of sled dogs as working animals and about
the Iditarod Trail's role in Alaska's colorful history. To raise awareness about this aspect of Alaskan
history, she came up with the idea to have a dog sled race over the Iditarod Trail. She presented her
Idea to an enthusiastic musher, as dog sled drivers are known, named Joe Redington, Sr. Soon the
Pages and the Redingtons were working together to promote the idea of the ldnarod race.
Many people worked to make the first Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race a reality in 1967. The
Aurora Dog Mushers Club, along with men from the Adult Camp in Sutton, helped clear years of
overgrowth from the first nine miles of the Iditarod Trail, To raise interest in the race, a $25,000
purse was offered, with Joe Redington donating one acre of his land to help raise the funds. The
short race, approximately 27 miles long, was put on a second time in 1969,
After these first two successful races, the goal was to lengthen the race a little further to the
ghost town of Iditarod by 1973. However In 1972, the U.S. Army reopened the trail as a winter
evercise, and so in 1973, the decision was made to take the race all the way to the city of Nome
over 1,000 miles. There were many who believed it could not be done and that it was crazy to send a
bunch of mushers out into the vast, uninhabited Alaskan wilderness. But the race went! 22 mushers
finished that year, and to date over 400 people have completed it,
