Does anyone know if the Ititarod is to be televised on any channel we can get in the UK this year?

Ive googled and search and just about ready to give up, is the bbc or animal planet planning anthing?

You sometimes get a documentary about the Iditarod in the autumn - that's about as good as it gets. There is much better coverage on the internet. Go to www.iditarod.com and you can get all the up-to-date information about the race as well as video coverage (for a small fee). This year's Iditarod is particularly interesting for us in the UK because a Brit is taking part - Kim Franklin, who owns Malamutes in the UK, is running a team of Tim Osmar's Alaskan Huskies. There are also four mushers running teams of purebred Siberian Huskies this year - Blake & Jennifer Freking, Karen Ramstead and Wayne Curtis. The race started today, but the first day is just a ceremonial start. The real race starts tomorrow.

I'm watching it now, but it does cost $19.95 through www.iditarod.com

Just worked out Kim will be setting off about 1.30am Monday morning!?!?! I hope the Boss doesn't mind the snoring......

Thanks for the info.

I saw the insider bit on the website so guess ill have to sign up.

Ive since found national geographic are running a documentary in October - I cant believe it takes that long for it to appear on UK screens. Nevermind ill just have to go over to watch next year :)

Well don't forget to pack everything - like ME :-D
