March 3, 2003 this is the beginning of the The Last Great Race - the Iditarod Sled Dog Race. A race from Anchorage to Nome Alaska, 1,049 miles. The images I have here were taken from behind Mulcahy Park on their way out of town. This is the ceremonial start of the race and it actually starts the next day from Wasilla.....EXCEPT this year as there was not enough snow down here.
To help defray the costs involved with this race guest rides are auctioned off prior to the race. This allows the winner to ride in the sled from the starting line on 4th Avenue to the ball field at the bottom of the Cordova Hill. The race favorites can really raise some large 'bucks' for the race. :)
