- Sixty-seven mushers are racing 1,000 miles across Alaska by dog sled. Three men quickly jump to the lead. They battle injuries, fatigue, exhaustion - and each other.
Nicolas Petit was born in France and moved to New Mexico in 1992, then to Alaska in 2000. He ran his first Iditarod in 2011 and had four top 10 finishes by 2017.
Joar Leifseth Ulsom grew up in Norway and fell in love with mushing after getting a couple of dogs to go skijoring with. He now lives in Willow, and is mushing full time. He first ran the Iditarod in 2013 and has run it every year since, never finishing lower then seventh place.
Mitch Seavey has run the Iditarod trail more times then Nic or Joar combined. He was born into the sport, with his father Dan Seavey running the first Iditarod in 1973. He broke the speed record in 2017; finishing in 8 days, 3 hours, and 40 minutes.
Dave Goldman has covered five Iditarods for KTVA 11 News. He recounts his memory of the 2018 race from checkpoints in Anchorage, Skwentna, Nikolai, Takotna, Shageluk, Anvik, Unalakleet, and finally Nome.
Riveting summary! Fantastic to see the skill and professionalism of these top competitors! And the quiet kindness of Mitch. The Seavey family is like that.
Very well done storytelling and production. Also, great to see comradery amongst competition, a true sign the contestants respect each other, which in my book makes it a better race. And there is always next year.

A challenge in a challenge...in a challenging sport within a challenging team.
Thank you for this. Very special report!
Great production! Thank you!
Thank you sooooooooooooo much for this pice of art. Cheers from Germany where we don´t have these fantastic movies. Keep up the good work.
This year there wasn't even snow in a height of 900m in South-Germany. :(
wow, thx for uploading - that was goose bumps all around the film (this french guy remembers me of Lance Macckay)
this french guy is hilarious !!!
This is well put together! I was getting invested, and I live in the southeastern US lol! Jesus Christ be with you friends.😊
I work in sled dog racing and im FROM the south eastern US. Its really not as cool as it seems. Its not an old sport. These dogs are faster than ever, kept in a very low standard of care, Its harder now to be a sled dog than it ever has been. We really need to ban this racing stuff.
I wrote a reddit about it. www.reddit.com/r/dogs/comments/japt8w/discussion_so_i_work_in_sled_dog_racing/?context=3
I want to be in the Iditarod some year
