“Much of the start of the world’s most famous sled dog race is covered in barren gravel, forcing Iditarod organizers to move the start farther north where there is snow and ice. … The nearly 1,000-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race starts Saturday with a ceremonial run through Anchorage. But the official start two days later has been moved 225 miles north … to avoid the area that left many mushers bruised and bloodied last year. Iditarod officials said the conditions are worse this year,” CBS News reports.
