To prepare for the rigors of the journey, mushers spend months prepping their dogs, who are subject to drug screenings and tracked using collar tags and microchips implanted under the skin. And while the competition is intense, participation counts: organizers present the last-place musher with the "Red Lantern" award as a tribute to his persistence.
