STORYLINE:
It was all laughs, smiles and barks during the ceremonial start of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in Anchorage, Alaska on Saturday.
The fan-fest annually precedes the real start of the race, scheduled for Sunday 50 miles (80 kilometres) north of Anchorage in Willow.
I think it's great, said Susan Chan of Little Rock, Ark.
Of course, the dogs are the main attraction, but really the mushers, of course, they're in charge of the whole thing, she added.
For the ceremonial start, streets are closed in downtown Anchorage to allow fans to watch the mushers, as the competitive sled dog sled drivers are known, prepare their dog teams.
There is a staggered start, with a musher and a person riding in his or her sled who won an auction for the ride.
Dogs lead the musher and rider on a leisurely 11-mile jaunt through the city.
Fans not lining the streets downtown also pick out their favourite viewing spots along the city's sled dog trail system.
The start of the Iditarod coincides with the end of Anchorage's nine-day winter festival, the Fur Rendezvous.
Sixty-six mushers and their sled dog teams will attempt the 1,000-mile (1,600 kilometre) trek across Alaska, which ends is in the old gold rush town of Nome, on Alaska's western coast.
Organisers earlier this year cut out the Happy River Steps, a notoriously steep and dangerous route between the Finger Lake and Rainy Pass checkpoints.
But on Saturday, they said the alternate route, a winter road created by a mineral exploration company, was no longer an option because of snow.
Organisers said the original trail through the Steps would be used.
The Iditarod field this year includes mushers from Alaska, four other US states and three other countries.
The contenders include defending champion John Baker, 49, who won last year's race in record time, ending Lance Mackey's four-year string of consecutive victories.
Baker said he did not feel any pressure as the defending champion.
But Mackey is confident.
I feel that I still have the team that's capable. I know I'm confident and I've got the ability. The outcome remains to be seen, he said.

Taming Alaska's Deadly Dalton in the 2014 Toyota 4Runner Limited! - Epic Drives Ep. 29
It's known as one of the most dangerous roads in the world: the rough, desolate two-lane Dalton Highway that shadows the Alaska Pipeline from Fairbanks to the Arctic Ocean. Host Arthur St. Antoine takes up the challenge of this infamous byway in a 2014 Toyota 4Runner SUV, driving from the Canadian border all the way past the Arctic Circle to the alien oil fields of Prudhoe Bay. Along the way, he encounters dog mushers, floatplanes, thundering big-rigs, bears, wrecked vehicles, and a landscape unrivaled for its challenges, remoteness ... and beauty.
Epic Drives appears every fourth Friday on the new Motor Trend channel.
