Link: Alaska Dispatch Four-time Iditarod champion Martin Buser has taken delivery of the massive treadmill built in 2006 for Maggie, the Alaska Zoo's out-of-shape elephant who was eventually moved to a refuge in California where she has room to roam year-round. Maggie could never be coaxed to use the 22-foot treadmill, but Buser hopes to use it for training and researching sled dogs at his Big Lake kennel.
