| Fifty-six mushers gathered on Fourth Avenue and the side streets around it on Saturday, March 5, for the ceremonial start of the 1999 Iditarod. They would race only 20 miles that day and the results didn't matter. The official start of "The Last Great Race" to Nome would be in Wasilla, a town east of Anchorage, on Sunday. The winner of the 1999 race, Doug Swingley, completed the 1,100-mile journey to Nome on Alaska's northwest coast in 9 days, 14 hours and 31 minutes. | |||
