"Where's my musher?" is a common chant heard in classrooms around the world. Today more than ever, Iditarod provides resources to help students not only read the race data, but see the sights of the race and hear the sounds of the runners on the ice through Iditarod Insider.
Thanks to a sponsorship with GCI School Access, Insider is available free to all schools, teachers and students in Alaska. Learn more about Iditarod Insider in Alaska Schools.
