The race to Nome has 33 mushers - its smallest field ever - in this year’s Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in Alaska. The mushers were to take off every two minutes in a staggered start across a frozen lake about 70 miles north of Anchorage starting Sunday afternoon. They will travel nearly a thousand miles over the unforgiving Alaska winterscape, climbing over two mountain ranges, mushing on frozen rivers and across the treacherous Bering Sea ice.
