L.A. Urban Iditarod's Interests
General
Last year’s First Annual race went better than we could have ever imagined. We had more than 200 excited racers, amazing weather, radical costumes and choice sleds. This year people are even more excited so we’re expecting a great day.
Bark to the Future team member Drew wrote a sweet article about our first annual race for CityBeat Weekly.

Heroes
"Every team wins except the first team to cross the finish line" Alpha Dog (the original SFUI founder)
"The Urban Iditarod has been 4 of the top 10 days of my life" Dog the Bounty Hunter (SFUI 2k6)
Anyone who is willing to pay tribute to Alaska's greatest tradition, by dressing up like an asshole and running through the streets drunk as a dirty dog.
In this race, teams of three or more "dogs" pull a "sled" that is guided by a musher. As with any great sporting event, pre-hydration is highly recommended before the start. Once the race begins, barking is encouraged. The teams will regularly stop at designated watering holes to rest their paws. These stops will include both private and public drinking establishments. Although this is not a competition, tradition stipulates that teams move briskly throughout the course.

However, our camera was stolen and we have no pictures of us in costume or the cart.
We were, Mr. Pink, Red Power Ranger, Blues Clues and Diver Dan with the Easter Basket Shopping Cart. If you have pictures of any of us or the cart that would be great!

[Re: “Gone to the Dogs,” April 5] The Alaska Iditarod is not an epic adventure. It’s more accurately called the “I-killed-a dog” or “I hurt-a-dog” race.
The short list of what happens to the dogs during the Iditarod includes death, paralysis, penile frostbite, bleeding ulcers, bloody diarrhea, lung damage, ruptured discs, pneumonia, viral diseases, broken bones, torn muscles and tendons, hypo
