Mushers are headed through the wilderness of northern Maine, including stops in Portage and Allagash before returning 250 miles later to the starting point.
More than a dozen teams are participating during the 25th anniversary of the race that serves as a qualifier for the Iditarod across Alaska.
The musher to beat is seven-time winner Martin Massicotte of Quebec. Organizers say conditions on the course are ideal.
