Learn about modern sled dog racing and Gold Rush history.  Meet an Iditarod musher who will give a video presentation that introduces dogs of the Klondike Gold Rush and highlights winter dog sledding today. On your way to meet his Iditarod dog team, you will stop at the checkpoint tent. He will introduce all the gear a musher and his dog team take on long-distance races like the Iditarod.  The sled dogs and puppies are eagerly waiting to greet you.  Meet the team and watch as the musher hooks them up to a sled for a practice run. They will demonstrate their discipline and enthusiasm with a fast lap around the track.  Afterwards, you are invited to interact with the dogs and hold the puppies.
