Topic Options #83968 - 10/20/02 03:50 PM Iditarod wwh Carpal Tunnel Registered: 01/18/01 Posts: 13858 The word Iditarod is Indian. It means far-away-place. The Iditarod trail was a network of dog-sled paths around the faraway town of Iditarod.

I run the Milo Iditerod everyday...he's half husky and he thinks I'm a sled! Still waiting for the border collie half to take over and calm him down (but I love 'im!)
