Starting The Iditarod

Ray Redington's grandfather Joe Redington Sr. is the person who started the iditarod! He started the iditarod because snow machines were taking their place. So he made the iditarod to save the dogs! Ray has brother named Ryan. Ray and Ryan are doing the iditarod.They are doing pritty good this year. The first few iditarods they used different breeds of dogs. And lots poodles were in the iditarod. But now huskys took their place. the iditarod will keep on running!

  1. Chris,
    I am glad you learned about the history of the race. I am so thankful that Joe Redington Sr. started the Iditarod because he saved the sled dog from becoming a thing of the past. Thank you for writing this report for your classmates to read!
    Mrs. A.
