If you're a teacher, you may be interested in the blog "written" by a sled dog by the name of Zuma. Zuma's blog is appropriately called, Zuma's Paw Prints. It may be too late to involve your students in this year's race, but please make a note of it for next year. There is a sled-load of curriculum tie-ins!
If you'd like to consider making a run, the first thing you'll need is a sled dog team. Look for Jim Welch's The Speed Mushing Manual: How to Train Racing Sled Dogs [798.8 WEL].
