The significance of the Iditarod Trail and dog sledding pre-dates the historical 1925 Serum Run. In the early 1900s, during the gold rush, people relied on dog sled teams traveling the Iditarod Trail to deliver mail, supplies and imports to their villages and towns — and Seward was the main port. Teams would travel from Seward with the goods to reach their destinations. Discover the importance of dog sledding and experience a ride by taking a dog sledding tour during your trip.
