Iditarod Trail Dog Sled Race is longer than ever before due to a lack of snow. This year's race, which has 33 mushers taking part, will last a record distance of 1,128 miles across Alaska.

Thanks to a lack of snow, this year’s edition of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race needed a new route across the Alaska wilderness. The course change adds more than 100 mile.

Quince Mountain is currently in 22nd place in the race. Mountain is taking his second shot at the last great race.

The Iditarod, now in its 53rd year, is the largest and most popular dog sled race in the world. "The Last Great Race on Earth" takes place in Alaska each March, as mushers and teams of 12-14 dogs race through the wilderness from Anchorage to Nome.
