Mushers sometimes run beside the sledSourced

A dogsled race.
The humans sometimes run too.

In Ivakkak, a dogsled race in Canada's Nunavik region, pairs of Inuit mushers travel on wide traditional sleds. In extreme cold, they may run alongside the sled to keep warm.

Even with a sled,
there is a reason to run.
