It takes so much time, money and work to even get ready fo the big race, and without any hope for a purse (:-)) it is hard to attract sponsors to pay for the big stuff. We are determined to get there, but it will take a lot of outside help too.twilambakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921391163118245181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2971913508951585914.post-58547456793747392982012-03-04T03:45:00.342-08:002012-03-04T03:45:00.342-08:00Thank you :) Now I'm beginning to see the amou...Thank you :) Now I'm beginning to see the amount of fundraising you have to do for the Iditarod!Anna Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10234629269767159282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2971913508951585914.post-38707300068852637502012-03-02T10:19:09.929-08:002012-03-02T10:19:09.929-08:00There are only a few I-rod qualifiers in the lower...There are only a few I-rod qualifiers in the lower 48, and we would love to stay down here next year rather than have to go to Alaska 2 years in a row. Too expensive! Requirements are 2 300+ mile races that are qualifiers and one 150+, and they must be run at least a year before signing up for Iditarod. The races that we are thinking about for our qualifier options for 2013 are the Race To The Sky 350, the Seeney 300, the UP 200, the Eagle Cap 200, the John Beargrease Marathon are the contenders.<br />In 2014 we plan to move to Alaska early in the season and run a couple 300+ mile races as well as logging all our training miles in that climate & terrain.twilambakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921391163118245181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2971913508951585914.post-54556521339147999002012-03-02T09:24:45.622-08:002012-03-02T09:24:45.622-08:00Interesting post:) Can you tell me what races qual...Interesting post:) Can you tell me what races qualify for the Iditarod, how many you need and when they have to be run prior to the Race?<br />AMAnna Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10234629269767159282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2971913508951585914.post-14292016901056296802012-03-01T17:27:04.369-08:002012-03-01T17:27:04.369-08:00Hi Kim,

But after they run with us and realise that the dogs are all hard workers and not interested in fighting they have all been very very supportive. We haven't really met anyone that was negative after they saw the team perform, and surprisingly a lot of them actually started with malamutes:-)<br />Twilablog4theredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03625713106058770544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2971913508951585914.post-64839869653588754642012-03-01T16:31:56.323-08:002012-03-01T16:31:56.323-08:00Thank you so much for sharing, interesting to know...Thank you so much for sharing, interesting to know what all is involved!!!
