2021 Iditarod Begins Shortened Course in Alaska Without Defending Champ
March 8, 2021 3 min read
The 2021 Iditarod sled dog race began this weekend in Alaska with 46 mushers navigating a special 860-mile course called the Gold Trail Loop that adheres to safety and health protocols, including no spectators, to avoid the spread of COVID-19 in small towns without proper medical facilities.

Welcome to the pandemic-version of the Iditarod. Last year’s Iditarod started before a coronavirus outbreak in the lower 48 states shuttered the NBA, NHL, and March Madness. By the time the 2020 Iditarod ended, it was the only professional sport running on the entire planet after the pandemic shut down sports all over the world.

We need Fur Rondy even if things aren’t exactly normal Author: Heather Rhodes Published March 5

Print article If I hear “things just look a little different” or “reimagined” one more time well, nothing, because what are the alternatives? Options are scarce. We’re isolated right now. But the days are getting longer. And dare I make the anticipated but cliched correlation: Brighter days are ahead. We need Fur Rondy. Think about the even more extreme isolation nearly 90 years ago, pre-statehood, air transit and shipping, telecommunications technology or even six cylinders. After months of frigid darkness and separation from humanity with a side of winter angst, we needed something to bring us into the light to check in on each other, spark commerce, commune and commiseration with our neighbors. But most importantly, to celebrate survival. Thus, Fur Rendezvous.
