The Last Great Race on Earth
The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race is an annual event in which mushers and teams of 12-16 dogs race across Alaska from Anchorage to Nome, in the cold and dark of March. It is also known as “The Last Great Race on Earth” because it is so long and grueling. In this updated activity, students will analyze whether they agree that the Iditarod is really the Last Great Race on Earth.
📝Suitable for Grades 5-8.
