Countdown to the Start in Nenana
On January 27 at 10am (AK time) Jonathan Hayes and his team, will recreate history spending the next two weeks travelling from Nenana to Nome, a distance of 700 miles. This is to celebrate 100 years since the original Serum Run made famous by Leonhard Seppala and his dogs Togo, Fritz, Balto & Fox. Jonathan’s dogs taking part in this expedition are direct descendants of Seppalas dogs and will be travelling the exact same route travelled all those years ago by a relay race of brave mushers and their sled dogs.
