* Please remember that the miles from checkpoint to checkpoint are an estimate. The distance may also change slightly from year to year depending on the trail. Each year, the trail is created and although it remains for the most part the same, conditions may change the route a few miles one direction or another. You may find conflicting information about the length of the Iditarod Trail.
The GPS Tracker will also give information on the length of the trail. Learn about the GPS Tracker and Iditarod Insider.
