“Run in tow heats over a 25-mile course, the race was officially named the Iditarod Trail Seppala Memorial Race, in hone of mushing legend Leonhard Seppala.
Over the years, the Iditarod trail Sled Dog Race’s origins have been closely linked with the “great mercy race” to Nome. Most people believe the Iditarod was established to hone the drivers and dogs who carried the diphtheria serum, a notion the media have perpetuated. In reality, “Seppala was picked to represent all mushers, “ Page stressed. “He died in 1967 and we thought it was appropriate to name the race in his honor. But it could just as easily have been named after Scotty Allan. The race was patterned after the Sweepstakes races, not the serum run.”
