ID: Ceremonial Team Rosters

Twelve dogs will run on each team for the Ceremonial Start through downtown Anchorage. The teams are as follows:

The Red Team will be led out by Waylon and Scruggs, Nacho and Izzy in swing, Scooter and Schmoe, Outlaw and Sissy, Lydia and Wedgy with Clyde and Willie in wheel.



The Black Team will have Beemer and Junior in lead, Kodiak and Boondocks in swing, Lester and Viper, Dutch and Commando, Nomex and Tinder with Sandy and Chipper in wheel.



Check out the team roster page for more information about each athlete.

After the ceremonial run we all jump in the trucks and head for 300 miles to Fairbanks so you won't hear from us for a while. Watch out for pics and (hopefully) video once we are back.

NOTE: Not all these dogs will be in the Re-Start teams to start the Iditarod on Monday. Although the teams have been chosen from the 37 we had vet checked last week you, you will see there are some notable omissions. We have included a few youngsters to give them some experience with the fun and the crowds and left a few of the old-hands, and those that don't travel so well, behind in Fairbanks. Check back on Monday morning for the Re-Start team roster!
