Welcome to The IditarodThe Iditarod is an annual long-distance sled dog race run in early March. It travels from Willow to Nome, all within the state of Alaska. Teams of mushers and between 12 and 14 dogs compete and must cover the distance in eight to fifteen days. Teams will race over 938 miles to reach the finish line through blizzards, whiteouts, sub-zero temperatures, and gale force winds that can cause the wind chill to reach -100 °F. The start line occurs in the city of Willow, Alaska and the finish line is in the city of Nome, Alaska.The trail runs from Willow up the Rainy Pass of the Alaska Range into the sparsely populated interior, and then along the shore of the Bering Sea, finally reaching Nome in western Alaska. The trail is through a rugged landscape of tundra and spruce forests, over hills and mountain passes, across rivers and even over sea ice.The trail is composed of two routes: a northern route, which is run on even-numbered years, and a southern route, which is run on odd-numbered years. Both follow the same trail, 352 miles, from Anchorage to Ophir, where they diverge and then rejoin at Kaltag, 346 miles from Nome.There are currently 26 checkpoints on the northern route and 27 on the southern route where mushers must sign in. Mushers often camp on the trail, but some stay at checkpoints and rest. Drop bags may be sent ahead to each checkpoint for the mushers and dogs, and are flown by the Iditarod Air Force. Gear may include food for the musher and dogs, extra booties for the dogs, headlamps for night travel, batteries, tools and sled parts for repairs, and even lightweight sleds for the final dash to Nome. There are three mandatory rest that each team must take. One twenty four hour layover, to be taken at any check point. One eight hour layover, taken at any checkpoint on the Yukon River. And an eight hour stop at White Mountain.The race begins at 10, the first musher is sent off at 10 AM. With the other teams being sent off with two minute intervals. Then the race is on!The Iditarod is coming up fast and the twenty teams that have chosen to participate this year, March 2022, have already arrived. They are now preparing their dogs to race, however just outside of Ruby, Alaska three of the teams are hit by an avalanche. Half of the dogs and all the mushers are killed instantly. While all the supplies are destroyed, and only parts of sleds can be found. With over half of the race left, and the path back to Ruby now blocked, the survivors are forced to make their way on to Galena. But with no supplies and no sleds, the trip is deadly. Forced to survive on whatever they can find and their wits, the survivors may not make it. At least without some more losses.Will the survivors make it to Galena? And if so, at what cost?ThreadsSign Ups: You are hereDiscussion: Click HereRP: N/A |

Lead Dogs
The lead dogs set the tone for the entire race, they lead the pack, carrying out the musher's commands.

All commands are given verbally so the lead dog must be able to comprehend what the musher is saying, hence the need for intelligence. There can be two lead dogs

Lead Dog  Personality
Zelda is an incredibly intelligent dog. She is also very kind when it comes to other dogs and humans, at least if they aren't rude. She loves other dogs and often when they are not racing, she is playing or talking with others. However she is also a very firm and serious dog when it comes to racing. She knows her position as lead dog and knows that she must be prepared to listen and heed her musher's commands quickly. She does not like when dogs fight, especially if it is among her teammates, but understands that sometimes tensions can get high and sometimes dogs just snap. She does her best to keep the peace, but even she cannot keep peace. Despite her kind nature, she can become incredibly cold natured and rude if pushed. She does not like rude dogs or rude people, and she is very clear about it

Personality Reese is incredibly sarcastic and mischievous. She often likes to play pranks and jokes on others, and her sarcastic words get her into a lot of trouble. But despite all that she is a very loyal dog and will do anything for her team, who she considers best friends. She enjoys hanging out with her team and loves to play with others. She loves to learn and is constantly pestering dogs, mainly her team, about things. It can get annoying but in a sort of endearing way. Despite her sarcastic attitude she gets away with quite a lot of things, because she can just as quickly turn around and bat those pretty eyelashes at you. Her sarcasm can often make you laugh, or just simply shake your head Likes-Sarcasm-Jokes/Pranks-Laughing-Hanging out with her team-Playing or trainingDislikes-Dogs who can't take a joke-Abusers-Not being able to do something-Dogs who don't understand jokes-Being told offStrengths-Confident/Bold-Quick on her feet-Quick thinking-Imaginative-Ability to laugh just about anything offWeaknesses-Bold(Can get her in trouble)-Imaginative(Her imagination can run away from her)-Chaotic-Stubborn-Laughing off anything(Can make dogs mad and sometimes attack)AllergiesN/ALanguagesEnglishAccentAlaskanQuote/Mantra"You couldn't handle me even if I came with instructions."RelationshipsN/A, PM me Other

 Personality
Danica is a very reserved dog, she does prefer to be by herself, though she does enjoy hanging around with her team listening to them talk. Though quiet and reserved, Danica is an incredibly loyal dog and there isn't much that someone could say that would shake her loyalty. She does have a few issues with authority, especially if she does not respect or like the wolf trying to order her around. Danica is one of those dogs who honestly doesn't really care about much. She does try to do her best when racing, but honestly the race results don't affect her like it affects the others. And if you manage to get past her reserved and cool nature, she actually is a decently kind and sweet dog, for the most part as long as you don't make her mad
