Iron Dog Snowmobile Race: World’s Longest and Toughest Snowmobile Race

The Iron Dog is an over 2,000 mile snowmobile race in Alaska, known as the the world’s longest and toughest snowmobile race. Participants traverse Alaska’s most remote and rugged terrain while confronting some of the harshest winter conditions. Survival skills are essential, making it the World’s toughest snowmobile race. All teams in race classes are a team of two persons and two snowmobiles for safety. ; The first Iron Dog snowmobile race event started in 1984 and was a 1,049 mile race. In 1993 the race was changed to a 2,000 mile race and has remained close to that mileage ever since. The course has had many routes over the years.
