The Iditarod Restart has been
moved to Fairbanks. The Board of Directors of the Iditarod Trail Committee
voted unanimously to move the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race restart location
from Willow to Fairbanks due to the poor conditions of critical trail areas in
the Alaska Range.
The ceremonial start in
downtown Anchorage will take place as scheduled on Saturday, March 4, beginning
at 10 a.m. The restart will now take place in Fairbanks on Monday, March 6,
beginning at 10 a.m.
This marks the third time in
the history of the Iditarod that the restart has been moved to Fairbanks due to
poor conditions in the Alaska Range. The first was in 2003, and second in 2015.
