He is already up in Alaska and completed a 265 mile training ride today.

starting in Big Lake, with a halfway stop in Nome, then around the Kotzebue Loop, before returning to Big Lake. Participants cover some of Alaska\u2019s most remote and rugged terrain, passing through 22+ communities, while confronting some of the harshest winter conditions. Survival skills are essential, all Pro Class teams comprise two racers on two snowmobiles for safety.<\/p>\n<p>The Iron Dog offers a non-competitive Expedition class giving adventure seekers an opportunity to travel 1,049 miles on the Northern Route of Historic Iditarod Trail to Nome. These teams of two or more travel on a portion of the same trail as the Pro Class Teams.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<pre data-block-type=\"21\"><\/pre>\n<div>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Iron Dog Routes over the years<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr role=\"row\">\n<td>Year<\/td>\n<td>Route<\/td>\n<td>Mileage<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr role=\"row\">\n<td>2021<\/td>\n<td>Big Lake \u2013 Nome \u2013 Kotzebue \u2013 Big Lake<\/td>\n<td>2,645<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr role=\"row\">\n<td>2020<\/td>\n<td>Fairbanks &#8211; Kotzebue &#8211; Nome &#8211; Big Lake<\/td>\n<td>2,409<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr role=\"row\">\n<td>2019<\/td>\n<td>Deshka Landing &#8211; Nome &#8211; Fairbanks<\/td>\n<td>1,950*<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr role=\"row\">\n<td>2018<\/td>\n<td>Big Lake &#8211; Nome &#8211; Fairbanks<\/td>\n<td>1,971<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr role=\"row\">\n<td>2015 &#8211; 2017<\/td>\n<td>Anchorage \u2013 Big Lake \u2013 Nome \u2013 North Pole \u2013 Fairbanks<\/td>\n<td>2,050*<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr role=\"row\">\n<td>2011 \u2013 2014<\/td>\n<td>Big Lake \u2013 Nome \u2013 North Pole \u2013 Fairbanks<\/td>\n<td>2,031<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr role=\"row\">\n<td>2006 \u2013 2010<\/td>\n<td>Big Lake \u2013 Nome \u2013 Fairbanks<\/td>\n<td>1,971<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr role=\"row\">\n<td>2005<\/td>\n<td>Wasilla \u2013 Nome \u2013 Wasilla<\/td>\n<td>2,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr role=\"row\">\n<td>1998 \u2013 2004<\/td>\n<td>Wasilla \u2013 Nome \u2013 Fairbanks<\/td>\n<td>1,971<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr role=\"row\">\n<td>1993 \u2013 1997<\/td>\n<td>Wasilla \u2013 Nome \u2013 Wasilla<\/td>\n<td>2,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr role=\"row\">\n<td>1984 \u2013 1992<\/td>\n<td>Wasilla &#8211; Nome<\/td>\n<td>1,049<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr role=\"row\">\n<td><\/td>\n<td>*19 miles of caution flag riding, 2,031 racing miles.<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>Race participation typically averages (30) thirty Pro Class teams with around (30) thirty or more Expedition Class riders for a total number of from 90-100 participants on the trail each year.
