2010 Idita-Rider Auction Set to Begin November 1st!
by staff
On November 1st 2009 The Iditarod Trail Committee will launch its 2010 Idita-Rider Auction on www.iditarodauction.com. Winning Idita-Riders have the opportunity to enjoy the first leg of IDITAROD XXXVIII (approximately 11 miles) from one of the very best vantage points in the race; right behind a team of Iditarod canine athletes!
This year's auction will include the Iditarod's exclusive Ultimate Adventure package for $15,000. The package features a sled of choice and an overnight at Rainy Pass Lodge to watch the front runners come through Rainy Pass Checkpoint in the heart of the Alaska Range.
Minimum bids start at $500 but you can guarantee your sled of choice by bidding $7,500. The closing date for the 2010 Idita-Rider Auction is January 22, 2010.
Proceeds from the Idita-Rider Auction help to benefit the individual mushers who complete the 2010 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in the form of prize money.
For more information on the IditaRider Auction please contact Deby Trosper (Idita-Rider Musher Auction Coordinator) at (907) 232-9090 or at deby.trosper@iditarod.com.
