Backstage Iditarod A Treat for Fans and Followers September 10, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Do you follow the Iditarod dog sled race? Have you ever wondered just what it takes to get this race up and running each March? How much it costs a musher to race a team from Anchorage to Nome? How dogs are vetted, fed and cared for along the route?
Well, then, this is the book for you! What sets it apart from all other books about the Iditarod Dog Sled Race, is that it is a look at the race from the backstage area.
'Backstage Iditarod' looks at the racers, the dogs, and the whole staging of the Last Great Race. For those of us who live for the Iditarod each and every year, this is the book that tells us how the event is staged and run.
The book takes us not only through the history of the race, but also takes us to the Mushers Banquets both in Anchorage where the racers get their starting numbers, and in Nome for the finishers; to the Iditarod Headquarters in Wasilla; to the Ceremonial start in Anchorage; to the stops along the trial; to the end of the trail in Nome some 1,100 miles later.
This book tells about the Sign up Picnic, the race volunteers, Iditariders, the trail, and all aspects of the race as seen from the organizational side of the equation. It's a real behind the scenes look at what makes the Iditarod the Last Great Race on Earth.
Anybody who loves the Iditarod will profit immeasurably by this book. Plus June Prices' photographs are always a treat for the Iditarod afficianado.
For those who are just learning about the Iditarod, you'll love this book. It is the perfect book for learning all about the race and the people who are involved in all aspects of it from the festive start to the exciting finish.
