2011 Iditarod Ceremonial Start – March 5, 2011

The 2011 Iditarod started on a bright sunny day in downtown Anchorage, Alaska. Fourth Avenue was lined with people watching as the mushers started. There was the sound of dog howls and barks in the air and the announcer telling about each of the mushers as they began the race to Nome. Several mushers had to control their teams as they raced around the Fourth Avenue/ Cordova corner, being careful not to overturn the sled. People cheered and mushers threw booties to the kids. With the sun and the warm weather, fun was had by all.
