Urban Iditarod has grown from its humble Cacophony beginnings in 1994, from a few friends to the last public event in 2006 of nearly 700. Its spawned similar races in Portland, Chicago, Phoneix, NYC.

2007 did not happen for various legal and logistical reasons, and a new route in 2008 with a select group was created. I am happy to say it was a success last year and I am reopening Urban Iditarod to public participation.
