Contact Chas St.George (Director Public Relations) at 907.352.2215 if you require any further information about the 2009 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race Posted by Iditarod Staff in Race Coverage Lance Mackey: Toughest Athlete on the Planet Date: September 17, 2008 at 10:39 am  The Iditarod always knew how tough two time Champion Lance Mackey was. After all Lance is the only athlete to win back to back 1000 mile plus championships including the Grandaddy of them all “The Last Great Race on Earth”. ESPN knew; they nominated Lance twice as for the coveted ESPY Award. Now the world knows that when the people get a chance to vote (and vote they did) The Toughest Athlete on the Planet is Lance Mackey!Versus, a media partner of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, conducted their Red White Black and Blue (RWBB) ”Cam Pain” to see just who was the toughest athlete on Earth with 32 contestants. On September 15th, Lance was neck and neck with just one other competitor “Team Hoyt”, a triathlon duo of father Dick Hoyt and son Rick, who has severe brain damage.The last few hours of the online competition were a testament to the phenomenal fan base of “Lance fans” that that has grown over the last couple of years. Mackey’s lead (which was only a few tenths of a percentage point) grew into a more than six point lead at the end of the day!Lance beat out the likes of Bret Farve and another Lance… Lance Armstrong during the competition, but this was a race he could not have won without the support of Iditarod Race fans from around the globe. That’s another thing the Iditarod has always known… this race has ”The Greatest Fans in the World.”Congrats Lance!

The six hour miniseries follows mushers and their sled dog teams across more than a thousand miles of rugged terrain as they take on Mother Nature - and each other - in The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.For TOUGHEST RACE ON EARTH: IDITAROD, Discovery Channel followed seven mushers and their dog teams - both race rookies and race legends.

It was originally used as a mail and supply route from the coastal towns of Seward and Knik to the interior mining camps and eventually all the way to Nome. Mail and supplies went in and gold came out - powered by sled dog. Mushers (dog drivers) became legends. In 1925, part of the trail became a life-saving highway. Mushers and their dog teams were called upon to bring serum to epidemic-stricken Nome and save the town from Diphtheria that had overtaken it. The Iditarod is a commemoration of those brave and legendary mushers and their faithful dogs.TOUGHEST RACE ON EARTH: IDITAROD is produced for Discovery Channel by Original Productions.
