Handlers Assisting Klejka’s Team to the Start at 4th & “D”

Jessica Klejka won the Jr. Iditarod by just 2 seconds in 2008.  She’s a rookie in Iditarod  XLVII.  At the Ceremonial Start this morning, Klejka ran ahead of her team while handlers helped guide the team to the start banner.  Before taking off, Klejka gave her leader Radar a little love and encouragement.
