Safety to Nome plot
Each February, four dozen athletes are invited to Alaska to embark on a journey that tests their bodies and minds, their will to succeed and their will to live. The Iditarod Trail Invitational is the world's longest, toughest and most remote ultramarathon, challenging participants to travel 1,000 miles across the Alaskan tundra by bike, foot or skis. This year, 26 racers will attempt the full distance. The fastest recorded time is twelve days. The longest is over 30. How willing are they to lose their toes, hands, or someone they love?
