To say the Iditarod is just a dog sled race would be like saying the Olympic Games are just games. It challenges mushers and their sled dog teams to travel 1151 miles across the frozen Alaskan wilderness, as fast and as safely as they can. This race is the final test of a long year of training, learning, sacrifices, victories, defeats and exciting adventures. Task Preparation for the Iditarod is a long and costly process.
Mushers raise and train dogs all year long.
Most mushers try to find corporate sponsors to help pay for the costs associated with running the race. Your task, as a group, is to prepare a presentation to give to a potential sponsor. Yours will be one of three groups presenting to the same potential sponsor. After listening to all three groups they will then decide whether to sponsor your musher. Process Each class will be divided into groups of four.
