If you visit Fairbanks in March, it is worth while to schedule your trip so that you can catch the Open North American Championship.
The race is over 3 days and are the oldest, sprint-races in the world. The first two days the mushers go 20 miles and the 3rd day is a longer 30 mile trip. Above you can watch a video that we took of a musher entering the chena river from 2nd street.
Above is the 2nd street finish line. See the crowds lining the street to cheer their favorite musher on in the homestretch.
