After watching the 2007 race start in downtown Anchorage Saturday morning, be sure to tune in to KAKM Channel 7 Saturday night (March 3rd) at 8:00 p.m. KAKM will be airing last year’s official race program, Iditarod 2006: Nature’s Turn to Dance. In just under 2 hours you can watch the dogs, sleds, mushers and crews make last year’s 1,100-mile journey, and watch Jeff King arrive under the burled arch in Nome.
This broadcast will be hosted by, among others, our very own Will Peterson, a long-time Iditarod supporter and volunteer who knows the race, the trail and the mushers like no one else. Shortly after the broadcast, in fact, Will is heading out with the “trail sweepers,” chasing the dog teams from Wasilla all the way to Nome, picking up stragglers, scratchers and all the gear and materials left behind.
We’re hoping Will can stay in touch with us while he’s on the trail, giving us exclusive insider views of the Iditarod world. Stay warm, Will!
