Welcome to the Junior Dispatch's coverage of the 2010 Iditarod! What's the Iditarod? It's a 1,000-plus mile dog-sled race across Alaska.

Last year, Iditarod champ Lance Mackey won the race for the third time.

While our coverage for the 2010 race continues, be sure to check out our hosting of Jack London's "White Fang," the story of a half-wolf who roughs it in the Alaska wilderness.
