Some rules and regulations about the Iditarod

The object of the race is to see which musher(s) and his/her dogs will be the first to complete the trail without anyone's help. In instances where the race is very close, the lead dog's nose may be the determining factor.

There are stops along the trail that are required by the rules and regulations set forth by the Iditarod Trail Committee, which are for the safety and health of both the dogs and the dogsledders. In addition, there are items that are mandatory throughout the entire race. These are:
  • Sleeping bag with weight requirements

  • A working cooker and pot that can boil at least three gallons of water

  • Promotional material provided by the Iditarod Trail Committee

  • A pair of snowshoes with requirements in size

  • Ax with weight and length requirements

  • Veterinarian notebook

  • Eight pairs of booties for every dog
