The Iditarod Trail Committee announced that an anticipated record number of mushers have signed up to run the 2008 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. At this time 108 mushers have completed their entrance forms for IDITAROD XXXVI. Two other entry forms are arriving via mail. That would bring this year’s entry total to 110 mushers.

This year’s rookie class will begin preparing for the 2008 Iditarod tomorrow (Saturday, December 1st). Rookies that enter the “Last Great Race” are required to attend a two day conference dedicated to indoctrinating them into just what it takes to start and finish the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.
