Retired Iditarod dog to run in Candlelighters benefit
One usually doesn’t associate the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race contested over nearly 1,000 miles of Alaska tundra and blowing snow with a charity footrace in unseasonably warm Las Vegas.
But the two will come together at Saturday’s Candlelighters Superhero 5K benefiting children’s cancer victims and their families.
Cadet, an Alaskan husky who served as lead dog for veteran musher Wade Marrs at the Iditarod, will participate in the virtual version of the run with his owners — cancer survivors Doyle and Peggy Raines of Logandale.
