Training and experience are a must in the Iditarod, but mushers say luck plays a role, too. AK’s Annie Feidt was on the trail this year and learned about race luck from Aily Zirkle, Ed Iten and Aaron Burmeister.
Ellen Lockyer also reported from the trail and brings back the story of Lance Mackey’s “Lucky 13.” The 2007 Iditarod champ’s good luck charm obviously runs in the family.
AK is a weekly statewide radio program focusing on Alaskan culture and communities. You can tune in on your local APRN station in Alaska, visit the AK web site, and even subscribe to the AK podcast. This story was originally aired in the March 17, 2007 episode.
