Sled dog racing is a competitive sport where teams of dogs pull a sled over snow or ice. The races can vary in distance, ranging from short sprints to long-distance events like the Iditarod, which covers over 1,000 miles in Alaska. The dogs, often breeds like Huskies or Malamutes, are trained for speed and endurance, working together to navigate the course. Racers, known as mushers, guide the sled and manage the dogs during the race. They must ensure the dogs are healthy and well-fed, as their performance depends on teamwork and conditioning. Sled dog racing is not only a test of speed but also a celebration of the bond between humans and dogs.
