I learned that the race starts in Willow and goes to Nome. It used to start in Wasilla but it moved because there was not enough snow.There is a north and south end. They use the north end on even years and the south end on odd years.they north end has 25 checkpoints and the south end has 26 checkpoints.The Iditarod is a tough race because the mushers and huskies get cold. The huskies have thick fur and the mushers wear many layers.
