Alaska's Great Race

Image 1 / 10

‘Alaska’s Great Race’ follows the annual dog sled race which takes place in the heart of the Alaskan wilderness along the Iditarod National Historical Trail. From the city of Anchorage to Nome, 96 teams will attempt to traverse over a thousand kilometres of the most inhospitable terrain on the planet, with 16 finely tuned dogs as an engine. Witness their journey, and the obstacles and triumphs they encounter as man, and his dog work together. They must care for each other and play a disciplined game of strategy if they hope to be first across the finish line in Nome. For some the goal is to win, for others surviving would be an achievement all of its own.
