Wasilla is home to the Tesoro Iron-Dog 2000, the longest snowmobile race in the world, held annually in mid-February. Racers travel to
Nome then turn around and head for the finish in Fairbanks traversing some of Alaska’s most remote and rugged terrain while confronting some
of the harshest winter conditions. Survival skills are essential,
making it not only the longest, but the toughest snowmobile race in the
world.
