Iditarod 2008 “Déjà Vu”

On March 1st, 2008 the world’s greatest athletes on four legs led the way on a 1000 mile trail filled with every challenge Mother Nature could conjure up. Epic blizzards and temperatures that turned snow pack into slush. Throw in hairpin freefalls on glare ice, and winds tossing a combination of glacial dust and snow right at you, and you have just a glimpse of Iditarod 2008.

A record field of mushers started “The Last Great Race on Earth.” A record field finished. And through the journey, a mushing legend was born, accomplishing something that has never been done before for the second year in a row. Iditarod 2008 “Déjà Vu” is the story of wills overcoming adversity. Iditarod Insider captures it all, along with the most breathtaking scenery ever documented on the Iditarod Trail.
