Every year at this time, the downtown streets become crowded with people. But these are not just regular pedestrians. In addition to the people walking through the streets, there are hundreds of dogs. It is time for the Iditarodthe famous dogsled race of Alaska.The name of the race comes from the name of an Alaska gold rush town, Iditarod.

For example, ofcials might stop a teams progress to give rst aid or to collect an injured or tired dog.
