All you have to do to win this book, Winning the Iditarod, is register [1] for our forum [2] and start posting. Every post increases your chance to win!
This competition coincides with the growth of our forum - and helps to celebrate the arrival of achieving 5000 posts on the message boards, and surpassing 100 members. We ask that you invite your mushing friends & comrades to get involved in this contest! The competition will continue to run between now (May 14, 2008), and will end midnight on June 15, 2008.
How do you enter?
You simply need to be active on our forum [3] between now and the 15th of June. By active we mean you need to be a member and start posting. Every post that you make in the alloted contest time period will be an "entry" into the competition drawing. If you post 10 times, that’s 10 entries; if you post 100 times then that’s 100 entries.
Your posts do need to be genuine (spam posts that are obviously just to get your number of entries increased will be deleted and will get you banned from the competition). Stay on topic and you’ll succeed.
This means that every time you ask a question in the Diet & Nutrition [4] forum, post an introduction in the New Members Introductions [5] area, or do any other form of activity on the boards; you will receive another "cast" into the book drawing - any post you make gives you another chance to win.
So what's the prize?
The book, Winning the Iditarod - The GB Jones Story, by Iditarod racer GB Jones. The winner can be located anywhere in the world - and Sleddoggin.com pays for shipping. Following is more information regarding the book:
On 9/11/2001 GB Jones moved to his property that borders the Iditarod Trail, in preparation to run the Iditarod Race. In GB’s words, "It was also the day when evil men tried to destroy our nation, but it only made us stronger, more determined, more American. Regardless of what’s thrown our way, we have to develop a stronger resolve and just keep going. We just have to." GB Jones has never finished in first place in the Iditarod, or any other sled dog race. In 2002 and again in 2004 he completed the 1,100-mile sled dog race at the "end of the pack." And he scratched from the 2003 race. This is GB’s account of his journey to Nome–how winning can occur to those who don’t arrive first. GB’s ability to take you on the race with him, with all the emotions and physical demands is unlike any other racer’s. You will feel you have run the race—and won—just like he has. Never again will you look at winning or losing in the same way. Come and run the Iditarod... with GB Jones. -softcover, 152 pages, 102 photos, SOFTCOVER, $14.95
