Mushers have sponsors that help support the team in different ways. Sometimes it is by supplies like gear or dog food. Every situation is probably a little different.

Kiana’s Iditarod Poem
by Maddie - 5th grade

Kiana
brave dog
wet, frigid Alaska
they craved to win!
weary mushers plotted and schemed
when the fire died to coals.
“The trail” was the stage for dreams
She had won the Iditarod, and was delighted!
