Sled dog news! Jessie Holmes, dogs win 2025 Iditarod.
"Smiling from ear to ear, pumping his arms in the air, he celebrated his win as a crowd closed in on the chute to usher him to the finish line. After setting the snow hook under the burled arch, he went to his dogs, thanked each one of them and posed with his lead dogs Hercules and Polar before handing out steaks."

Help fund rural Alaskan schools during the #iditarod2025
"The igivearod is a loosely-organized, volunteer-directed, fundraising drive that runs alongside races in Alaska. In the past it has centered on the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race (not affiliated with the Iditarod Trail Committee); however, fundraising efforts expanded to include other races such as the Iditarod Trail Invitational and the Kobuk 440. We do not take donations ourselves, but help direct potential donors to schools listed on the crowdfunding website DonorsChoose.
"A focus has been on supporting Alaskan schools with a particular emphasis on remote and rural communities like those that make the race possible. The communities often need help funding essential items like tables, chairs, and books for their students, or for classroom enrichment items like art supplies, music equipment, and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) teaching kits.

The annual #Iditarod sled dog race in Alaska starts in just a few hours. Always inspiring to see these dogs ready to trek over 1,000 miles. Check out Emily Ford's huskies: https://emilyontrail.com/copy-of-share-a-trail - and the official map of the route attached here.
Der Klimawandel erzwingt eine Änderung der Strecke für das Iditarod Race dieses Jahr.
Die hohen Temperaturen werden auch dieses Jahr wohl für viele Pausen tagsüber und Nachtfahrten sorgen.

It's five above zero in Minneapolis Thursday morning, heading for a high of 16℉.
NWS: Warming trend will produce highs in the 30s this weekend and the 40s early next week.
There's an excellent piece with beautiful photography in the local paper this morning about a well-known Duluth outdoorswoman who's running the Iditarod with her “16 best friends.”
